Sunrise Beach 9/24 - Camera stealing GPO warning!

[stphnmartin]

Met Scubie and did one long dive at Sunrise beach this afternoon. While I was gearing up a man who lives at the nearby house came out and told me 3 days prior he saw humpback whales right off of his back porch. However, we didn't see any.

The current was nil which made for a comfortable experience. There was also hundreds of perch frolicking at the top of the wall. I found a large GPO at the base of the wall and setup my camera to record. It didn't like this one bit and grabbed my camera and a struggle ensued. My Sola's are on loc-line arms which can snap off easily and it took ahold of one and you can hear it squeaking. We played tug-o-war as it wrapped its tentacles around the housing.

Here's the video of the battle--which means I was victorious!

Aside from the octo entanglement, here are some grabs from the video:

Stephen, awesome video! A different GPO grabbed my light head and just about pulled me into its den. I had the light positioned to take a photo I will post some pics soon.

Great shots scubie. The warbonnet did hang out with you for a while. Nice angle on the scallop too!

That marker buoy has been my 'destination' several times in the kayak, it makes a nice paddle up from a launch in Da Harbor... Never been *under* it though...


great photos!
