Here are a few from Sunday. We stayed over for the Monday holiday, so I'll have a few more later. I've got some from late December and early January that I haven't done much with. Dives were great, pics were terrible, so I haven't wanted to revisit too much.
First dive, Trevor's Pinnacle off Pacific Grove near Aumentos reef.
A juvenile Gopher Rockfish hiding in a hole. We've seen an unbelievable quantity of juveniles this last year. Hopefully, that bodes well for the future.
A Treefish
A cute little Crevice Kelpfish. First one I've ever seen. He insisted on hiding behind his little piece of kelp and it took me about 20 tries to get a couple of decent shots with about 6 feet of surge going on.
Dive two, Shale Island
A Blue Rockfish
Copper Rockfish
The big Ling who lives under the shelf wouldn't come out to play, so I shot him in his living room.
Island Kelpfish? and a little Sculpin. For some reason, the little guys seem to like to hover over Sea Stars. Maybe one of the fish behaviorists out there can explain it.
