Noticed that most all of the sponges he usually hangs on are now missing. :depressed:

Our collectors at work I suppose. :depressed:
God knows catching a sponge is a challenge worthy of a hunter.

Nice Lancer Dragonette.

Dive report from today. 2 hrs, 23 min bottom time. I had 79 for a temp - still in my 5mm and at first I thought I was going to be too warm but got distracted and forgot about the bath water. Viz maybe 15-20 ft with bright sunshine. Nice conditions with very few divers. I did not have a chance to check on Baby Daddy - too distracted with everything else.
My intel did not fail. I found "Puff" early on in the area I planned to look. I spent a good hour with him, even shot a little video which I will post as soon as I've uploaded to YouTube. He was big - 7-8" and very active. Two divers approached, I saw they were photographers so finally left him in the capable lenses of two fancy cameras.

Lots of cute juvenile sea robins, about the size of my pinkie.

And octopi abound. This was the most cooperative of the bunch.

Before I went to Phil Foster Park I swung by the Admiral's Club to donate a few door prizes for this weekend's open house. It's a really nice place! If anyone is interested in details feel free to PM me.

Then, just a couple of minutes after giving up on the first one, the next urchin that I turned over yielded another, larger one, holding an armful of eggs, in the same manner as the one from a few weeks ago held his gob of sand. Apparently, having to use up a bunch of those legs for holding the eggs, this slightly larger one (inch and a quarter?) occasionally stopped long enough to give me *some* chance of composing and focusing.

Well, I *meant* to include a shot of the egg bearer. . . This computering stuff is just a little too hard for me.
