Incredible day diving 1/21/15!!!

[liverock]

Got a late start diving yesterday as this time of the year the tides are ripping....and you have to dive at slack tide or the current will take you away....

I am usually on the water at sunrise, but yesterday got to the aquaculture site at 12:00pm

Was a flat calm gorgeous day.

Zooming out at 30 knots



Getting a little sunburned...so had to have a selfie LOL



Tides were extreme today



But to have calm ocean like this in the wintertime is unprecedented!



Got the load of rock and live sand



And the rock is amazing!



Stocked to the gills and ready for your tank!

Hey Rich, what are the little clear shrimp that can hitchhike on the rock? I have about 8-10 from part one and weren't sure what they are.

Do they have one large claw? Probably harmless pistol shrimp. Click-click!

 

[bkelley02]

Haven't been able to get a pic that they show up in. They're about 1/2-3/4" in length and have no claws to speak of. They look like freshwater glass shrimp. I've only ever seen them at night and the reason I noticed was from the eye shine from the flashlight. Other than that they'd be almost transparent.

I also have about 6-7 pistol shrimp in there too though.

Might be a ghost shrimp.

Tides are a little less than Maine :lmao:. I saw the picture from your Garmin and immediately thought of hunting on the Penobscot bay with 13 foot tides. Makes for an interesting day of hunting.

You got that right.....when we were scallop diving, and the tide changed, hang on baby!

I used to dive the mouth of the rivers where they dumped into the ocean where the draggers could not get, dinner plate sized scallops...those were the days!
