The continuing sagas of the Blue Heron Bridge

[djtimmy77]

I am going to be diving the BHB this week for the first time. What are the current water temps?

we had 77 yesterday.

Boiler up!

I had 79 Thursday

BTW. Lafayette, you make Indiana proud. With the Wabash and Purdue and your train tracks too.

Just noticed your avatar. Diving Pete. Very cool.

It would be logical that if they are a professional photographer that they want to use the photos to put food on the table....

Of course they want to publish for big bucks. Which I don't blame them. Hey, right place, right time. And I guess better than someone with no camera (as cool as it would be to witness).

At least this way the whole world can marvel at our amazing world underwater. And reinforce again how truly special Blue Heron Bridge is.

Boiler up indeed!

Thanks for the temp. Being a Northern guy that sounds warm!

Thanks for the temp.

I cannot claim the avatar image as my own. It came from the Purdue SCUBA club website. Unfortunately, it looks like the club is defunct as the website has not be updated since 2008.

Beautiful stuff. Is she a masochist or has she just become bored with the hobby and needs to set it up as a challenging scavenger hunt for only the gray-brown, rare and tremendously difficult to find creatures?? Most impressive.

As the flag-carrier and spotter, I have time to find many of the critters nearby while she is setting up her wonderful pictures. That being said we both do like the challenge of finding interesting critters!

Trying to upload my first pic....and not a very good one at that. Hope this is good enough for confirmation though. I think my mystery critter last night at BHB was a Long Bristiled Eunice (Humann's book has one that looks like what I saw). Has anyone else seen one of these at BHB?

Yes, I know about the pic quality. It's a camera setting issue and I'm working on it.

Yes, we've seen these before, but not able to get a good picture.

They are also called a "bobbit worm" and last year people were calling it "the thing"

Nice find!
