Dove with 2 6 gills today at Sund Rock

Post by Jeff Pack »

Spotted one at about 200ft, followed it deeper to 218 where it met up with another. Both juveniles, about 6 feet each, feeding on Krill, lots of it about.

Followed them feeding for abit and then we departed.

They were gliding along about 1ft off the bottom, and no silt trail at all.

Wish I could do that :)
=============================================

- I got a good squirt in my mouth
- I would imagine that there would be a large amount of involuntary gagging
- I don't know about you but I'm not into swallowing it

Forgot to mention we ran into a gpo @180 tucked into a big rock crevice too.
