HB is Honey Bear, an overturned boat which has had an octopus living under its bow this summer. It's in Cove 2 at Alki (not where we are diving on the 23rd) somewhere around 35 -40 fsw, if I'm remembering correctly.

The HB octo wasn't home last night, but it could've been on walkabout looking for a Happy Meal.
You shouldn't expect to see any octopus at Edmonds Underwater Park ... with all the ling cod living there they don't tend to stick around long (either food or fled) ... but there's enough other cool stuff there to more than make up for it.

I'm sure I will see plenty of great things during my visit both above and below the water. If I see an octopus great, otherwise just visiting and enjoying new dive sites and making a few new friends is more than enough to make me happy.
Do you guys normally wear your dry golves or do you wear neoprene? I would prefer neoprene but I have both.

I normally wear 3 mm neoprene gloves ... but most drysuit divers wear dry gloves.WVDiver:

Last night around 7:30pm, he (she?) was not under the bow and there were lots of other little octos scattered about.DoubleDip:
We descended on this one and then saw two more not far away.
We looked around a bit but no sign of the big one that's been under the honeybear bow for the last several weeks.
My last sighting (and photo) of the big one was Sunday the 2nd.
There were plenty of other characters around the HB though.
Pretty good vis too at the honeybear level.
Boy, we didn't encounter the octos tonight, but I enjoyed your sailfin sculpin picture, because we found two of them, and I had never seen them before.

I dove Fox Island on the 12th.. Saw several GPO's and a red Octo. Later headed to Sunrise it was like a petting zoo... so many critters. More GPO's and a pair of Wolf eels.
Wow, I'm getting excited just seeing some of the pics. Can't wait to look around and check things out.
BTW Discount Divers finally emailed me with their prices and they are comparable to Underwater Sports so whichever one is on the way or closer will work fine. I'll let Double Dip tell me which one to go with.
