Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

[Scuba_Jenny]

Speaking of lists. thought it would be fun to have a list of critters one must see to be considered a troll.. all in fun of course.. maybe a list of the top 20-25 critters that are pretty much unique to BHB area..

1. Frogfish
2. Batfish
3. Northern Stargazer
4. Manatee
5. Spotted Eagle Ray
6. Seahorse
7. SeaRobin
8. Jawfish
9. Lancer Dragonet
10. Sailfin Blenny (though those are found all over the place.)
11. at least one nudibranch
12.
13.
14.
15.

For everyone who's requested the species list I will email when I get home from Ecuador next week. I should be back in town by 7/19 unless we get stuck in El Salvadore again.

For those of you questioning two weeks in Ecuador:

Nuff said.

While I have not yet had the pleasure of diving BHB I hope to become a bridge troll at the end of the month. I would very much like a copy of your list so that when I do I might know more of what I am looking at.

Jet- count me in on that comprehensive list

I want on the list, too.

Is that green shrimp a recent find?? And, did you guys find the bumblebee on a sea cucumber?? And, how big is that sea robin?

 

[Biminitwist]

1) Yes, Kelly found first a bright green and then another pink one aka "Deb's funky shrimp" though that may be another image.
2) yes, on sea cucumber, also 4-6 BB's (non spotted) playing jungle jim on an octopus
3) 7 inches, perfect size (and a bandtail sea robin flasher champ while hunting)..
All this over on your directionally comprimised slope area some kind soul lead you through....
Hope that helps....
See you soon?
John

Our coolest find was that Nurse shark resting under the east bridge. But I didn't get a picture, so I guess it doesn't count... :/

If there's no picture then it never happened.

If there's no picture then it never happened.

Then you won't believe me when I say it was 12 ft long? Jeesh...

Ok, just completely wrong. Got a text from DiveDivaDM saying that she was diving today. Well I'm stuck at work reading SB, so there!

Anyone planning to dive the bridge tomorrow (Sat)?
