    Mermaid Purse

    I found a mermaid purse at Breakwater last weekend. This is the first one that I've found while diving. I think it is an egg case for a swell shark. The case is translucent and you can see the shark egg inside.
    Let me know if I identified this correctly.

    Yep, you got it buddy. Swell shark more likely per my research.
    Please don't let my wife sell my gear for what I told her it cost...
