Sixgill @ Redondo 8/2
Just past the carousel boat @ ~85fsw on a low tide. Stuck around long enough for me to get a few pictures and check that she was female before disappearing into the dark. 5-6 feet long, I guess?

Crazy!!! Do you dive rebreather or OC?
And it looks like you got shots of her in the water column and not just from above swimming on the bottom?

Sigh... 3 dives, no luck. I keep seeing pictures of her on everyone else's feed. I feel like the guy in Junior High trying to ask out an amazing girl, getting no response, and then seeing pictures of her with all your friends.

Re: Sixgill @ Redondo 8/2
Amazing experience Derek! Great pictures.
I didn't see the shark but I did get a consolation prize of a Giant Skate!! It was at least 4 feet long and 3 feeet wide. Biggest one I've ever seen. It buzzed past me as I hung out at 90 - 100 feet waiting for the SixGill.
