Mil gracias Cypress, Cincodemayo, Diver. Cincodemayo I miss the abs also. I used to see big piles of them at the holdfasts. Not any more. I occasionally see a very small pink in Morro Bay, but I haven't seen an adult at the islands in years. I don't even see the blacks which were thick in the shallow water. Bernie I loved your "Orange Old Man" comment! The Orange Old Man is a garibaldi, they are great animals. If you chase them with a camera you will get lots of tail shots and blurry, out-of-focus images. However if you pretend to ignore one, it will drive him crazy and he will attack the lens port, try to get inside your BC, and be a general annoyance for your whole dive :biggrin:.

Ken...Garibaldis are so stupid that's why the state protected them and made them the state fish! But they are beautiful....I even got a Sorenson white abalone out at Santa Barbara Island that was at least 12 inches and was the thickest with a depth of about 6 inches...made plenty of steaks out of that beauty and still have the shell to boot!

Ken, wish you'd hook up with Dale Pearson at www.Gonetobaja.com and dive one of his night squid dives.
you'd get some interesting shots no doubt.:o

Thanks mike. I've been watching that stuff that Dale is doing. Fascinating!! Would love to do one of his squid dives some day. Not likely it will be this year, maybe next. I will keep in touch with him.

Ken, can you please post a picture of what your underwater camera looks like? You most have at least a couple of strobes on it. How about some specs on the camera(s)? Help us novices out a little bit. Thanks.

Ken, thanks for posting your photos.

When family comes over to look at land photos of our Egypt trip they inevitably ask about what we saw underwater. I always pull up your website and show them. :biggrin: Works for Caribbean too!

We want to know when you will post some pics of the frog fish and the dragon eel we saw in Hawaii? :lol:

Thanks again and keep it up!

elgatoloco I've seen dragon eels in Hawaii but I can't find any photos of them. Instead, how's this for a face?
