We've had a long run of cold weather, but finally got a break with air temperatures in the 40s and bright sunshine. With no waves in sight, we submerged to incredible visibility and headed out the right side. We spotted a bunch of Palio dubia, several Placida dendritica on sea fleece, and one lone Coryphella verrucosa in the rocks. As we were on our way in, the sun was shining in the shallow water so my buddy and I both attempted wide angle sunbeam shots without wide angle lenses. I was quite chilly at the end, but this was a very pleasant dive.

@SerialWhiner I raise you the #GloucesterMA lobstah pot tree.

It was a beautiful sunny day for a dive in late October, but the critters were mostly in hiding. I did find a small short bigeye early in the dive, so I spent some time working on some different images.

I didn't take any notes after the dive, but from the pictures and dive profile, it looks like we cruised out the left side, checked out the northern red and then cruised back along the top of the ledge. Not too many images from the dive, which suggests the critter count was low.

We did some wandering to find some decent conditions on this day and ended up at the Eastern Point Lighthouse in Gloucester, MA. Such a beautiful spot and we managed to find some critters! #underwaterPhotography #fish #snails #nudibranchs #crabs #NewEngland #GloucesterMA #macro #scuba πŸ¦‘ πŸ“· πŸ¦€

Water Temperature: 59F

Weather report said decent NE wind and 3 foot waves from the east. True to form, OGB was totally blown out, Pebble was doable but looked messy, Bass Rocks was full on surfable, Niles was glass, but we ended up at Dog Bar. It was pretty low tide, so we were in for shallow. Immediately upon descending, I found a tiny orange trunkfish or boxfish. I finally got my camera ready and managed to snap a few pictures to prove I saw it and then proceeded on. We didn't see too much, but there was a good sized school of juvenile cod, a horseshoe crab, a rock gunnel out in the sand, some anemones in the rocks, and a few tiny nudibranchs on the kelp. This was a nice, chill dive.
