Cockerell's Dorids at Elephant Wall

Post by KeithBoll »

Happy to report that my expert dive buddy, Dale, found three Cockerell's Dorids at Elephant Wall today! We had not seen these little critters since about October of last year. Also - the same large Octo that was out in the open last week was again out this week: and there is another large Octo in a den just several yards away. This time - the Octo tried grabbing my camera until I backed up a little bit. I also went for a short dip at Sund Rock this week and included another Warbonnet shot from there.
