Lots of lessons from this dive amoungst them are; know thy camera, check which way the winds have been blowing (not where it is blowing now), don't sweat the water temperature, bring hot water and know thy camera.

Cecil, Welcome to the "Do Everything Once" club! You Navy guys have guts. I enjoyed reading your report, while sipping a cup of hot tea. Nice pictures! Here's looking forward to more!

cecil...bravo...the pictures are great, and need no apologies! ANY trip report is better than none in my book! Gave me a good fix!

Good work Hero!!! You have given me the nudge to put the suit in the water and to take the camera. In a few weeks there will be thousands of pink anemones-like things where we usually dive.They come in the spring and leave before the summer, so I guess I had better get there and take a few pics. Thanks for the report!!!! It is a realist one for this part of the world!!!

I still bummed about the flash. I lost most of the colors for that mistake. The sponge and the sea urchins would have been way kewl. Here's a couple more.

lol, ok cecil, i just thought that since the water was soooo cold...that the color was "true" and thought the green was a natural...had me fooled!

Cecil,

Rusty I did mess around with the color balances and didn't get anything I was happy with. It sure would have been easier to turn on the flash and get the colors on the original.

Sorry forgot your lobsters, no none at all, not even small ones. I've heard they move off to the deep water in the winter.

Rusty will that take out the blue from my UW pictures. First time shots and I didn't use the flash. Holly

I love the urchins you got - we used to have a brackish tank with starfish and urchins in it and they would all migrate toward my hand (slowly) when I fed them squid in the morning.

These guys seemed to like to cover themselves, the above picture is them using kelp. Other times I saw them with old clam shells.

Lobsters are smarter divers than humans--they do go out deep in the winter to warmer (in the winter) water. :–) They come back just in time for the 4th of July fireworks, at least they did for the 25 years I chased them around Boston. Then we could dive behind the Eastern Point breakwater they seemed to appear there first, coming in to shed. Dove once this time of year in the ocean then joined the lobsters in staying out of the (shore) water.
