A good buddy of mine, who is my sequential PADI Pro # partner as well as a local DM may have run across a GWS this past weekend.
From what he told me, he was taking someone from out of the country for a tour dive at North Monastery on Sunday. After the dive she asked what kind of fish would be 7-8 feet big and have white gills. When they returned to the dive shop he gave her a fish ID book and she picked out the GWS.
Very possible as I believe him, and the person on the tour was acting fairly certain.
