I skipped the dive yesterday simply because I was a wuzz: I didn’t want to drive and I didn’t want the cold. Steve said to me: I bet You the Girlz are going to find 8 dworfs and you are going to miss it. And gave me the “Kovacs” look. I couldn’t wait till they get out of the water to find out what they saw: Almost exactly that: Not 8 but 6, plus 2 of my Nodosas between other interesting critters. Ah? Foggies? Yeah Froggies every where. Where? Every where!!!! Ahhrrr I couldn’t wait to go find them the next day. I made sure I got all the directions right. Got to the bridge way before time with all my equipment double checked and got in the water confident I was going to find them. ... read more

HT was at 6 pm I was going to have a late drive back home. I dove with Deb’s 100 cc that I like so much. I started the dive looking for the B. Nodosa and the black seahorse with pink horns. Viz was low and particulated. I found a couple of “Mena” shrimp with curly tale. One sand color and pics are a blotch and another dark color like the one I saw back in January. I needed the mindset for it so left it behind and I moved on. I found a very cooperative Bridge Mimic Octo with stripes on the legs. I had lots of fun with it for a while. Then I found an Orangina but I was having trouble focusing because of the surge. On my way out I saw a ... read more

Steve and I did two dives today. The first dive we did 1 hr and 20 min. SK found a jaw fish he has never seen before and made me take an ID shot to show around. Now we think is a moustache Jawfish but not confirmed yet. Then I found a bunch of white skeleton shrimp very pregnant and tried to shoot some camouflaged shrimp but the photos are ugly. In the second dive I took Deb, Linda and Diane straight to the area where I saw the Nodosa two dives ago. I was lucky enough to find it. Maybe I just had fresh eyes. So cool. It has a lot of potential to use creative lighting with it. While Deb was shooting it I found more pregnant skeleton and the shrimp with curly tale. ... read more

I dove with Linda and Anne. We were on the froggie mission and Anne was going on her third attempt to photograph the F. Marcussorum. On the way to Nudi world I saw a big banded Jaw fish with young eggs and a fish I have never seen before. Then Linda found a small dusky with pretty big eggs. In the meantime I saw 2 spiders that look like mating on of them was “Deb’s spider” with eggs. Then we wonder for ages looking for something different with no luck. Linda suggested to go under the bridge and I followed. We saw a flatworm I didn’t take pictures of, a few nudis and my final find: another dusky with pretty well developed eggs. Wow I don’t think I have seen eggs that big before. Then I ... read more

I was running late to dive with Linda and I got to Bhhb just when she was getting in the water. Quickly we planned the dive. I met her at the dip where she had found a Super mini Melo. I tried to take a photo but immediately it put its face inside a hole so cute. Like I wouldn’t see it if I didn’t see it’s face. Left it alone and we moved to the dwarf froggie area and searched with no luck. I spotted an orange skeleton shrimp and I decided to place my backdrop and shoot it. Hopefully one would come out sharp. Linda left me her flag and waved me bye. As soon as she left something jumped and hide behind the snoot’s bags that I was using to hold my back ... read more
