Some photos from past couple of weeks. Mostly macro stuff. I gather people had been seeing bigger stuff at more southern sites but due to my scheduling preferences I have been sticking closer to the marina for late in the day dives. As always, if you like a photo and want it for a rotating screensaver/whatever just PM me and I will send the actual file (these photos are probably 1/10th the resolution of the originals due to totally understandable cost/space management limitations of Scubaboard)
Sony RX100VII, Nauticam Housing, Dual Sea&Sea YSD-3 Strobes, either Nauticam CMC-1 or CMC-2 macro lenses or the WWL-C Wide Angle where appropriate
Splendid Toadfish (this was shot with a macro lens, looks better in high res)
Trumpetfish (macro lens)
Orange Marginella
Sharptail eels
Sharptail eels (part 2)
Spotted Moray and Goldentail eel. I call it an integrated neighborhood. Not really the best picture since they were a little far apart but interesting to see the two of them even this close.
Scorpionfish with fireworms (I had assumed it was dead, but I guess this could be some type of cleaning behavior). It was kind of between a rock and the wall so this was the best shot I could get in a bunch of tries (many blind holding camera in ridiculous positions because there was no way I could line up behind the camera due to the wall)
Juvenile Lionfish
Adult Lionfish that seemed to know my friend forgot his spear on the boat
Octopus (shot in 2 feet of water as I was finishing snorkeling on north end)
