I met several SBers this morning at the Navarre Beach Pier. Water conditions were very seaweedy but I got the first two shots below. I then went to my backyard (Destin jetties) and found even more seaweed. I got the second two shots from there.

Nice shots. What is the fish with the "wings" called? Very cool.

Pretty darned good shots for those conditions!

Love the flying gurnard and the trigger fish. Nice.

Me too, and a large strainer to filter the water :laughing:.



RichKirby,

The winged fish is a flying gurnard like Jcsgt said.

is that a bike tire?

 

[Gilligan]

Great shots.

The Flying Gurnard has nice colors. The ones here are drab.

The Triggerfish shot is crystal clear. Great job.

JL, The pier was a fishing pier until one of our recent hurricanes put it in the shape it is in now. This was my first dive there. Here is a picture above water:
