Blue Heron was pretty crouded on Sunday, but it was worth the hassle.
We had small stargazer swim right under me go "Take my picture! Take my picture!" so I obliged.
We found a nice Flying Grunard with its wings unfurled just enough to show the blue stripe. After a little stalking it agree to hold still if I would leave it alone after it posed for a few shots.
Susan found a pipefish almost a foot long.
I tried taking pictures of a few more critters.
I haven't looked at the pictures yet to see if any turned out.

The viz wasn't the greatest though.
I managed a few photos of a giant Hermit Crab as well as Shortnosed Batfish, Southern Ray,tons of Cushion Stars and schooling Barracuda.
I also have photos of one fish I can't identify.
When I get home this evening, I'll post it.

I found that the unknown fish is a male Pearly Razorfish.
Absolutely stunning

OK,
I took these on Saturday. I tried a little different approach. I entered the water about 3 hours after slack low tide and stayed in the deeper pockets in front of the south side of the east span. I made 3 dives total at BHB Saturday and it seems to have worked out for me (Yes, the current was strong in places but I used a knife I found to grab the sea bed.
Let's start with those that need ID...
I used my new "Caribbean Sea Slugs" book (my birthday present from KBeck) to ID several, but these didn't seem to be there
close to Purple crowned sea goddess (but no gill)
This is a different nudi, but I'm not sure what it is
On to the ones that I CAN ID!
Best I can tell, this is a juvenile Harlequin sea goddess
The little guy was about 1/2 the size and lacked the top spots for others I have seen
Notice the lack of defined spots as seen on this bigger guy that was close by
These shots taxed the limits of my camera's ability (Where the heck is my diopter!)...
Gold Line sea goddess
And then there was this one...
Cratena Peregrina (nudibranch with yellow spots)
----
There were even things there that were bigger than 1" (if you can believe that!)
Posing Sea Robins (3-4 of them during the dive)
Hermit Crabs
Ya know, this used to be such a nice place to raise the little ones...
But, times are tough and we finally decided to go condo...
The rest are in my gallery...
