Official SCUBA thread 2014

Thanks for reminding me of that thread.I posted in there a few times but I'd forgotten all about it.

Here's a pic I was sent from another person out yesterday.

Some of the nurse shark video.
I have to admit a major fail though. At the point where I found three nurses pushing each other around to hunt down and kill a large French angel, I thought I was going to have several minutes of great video. That section isn't on the card. I'm not sure what happened, but I was so heart broken not to have it. (I'm also missing a bunch of the sea turtle footage.)

This starts as a short clip after the male pushed the two females away and continued to chew on the dead angel as the other angel watched (which shows you how strong the bond between angel pairs is). The second part is the male circling towards me to keep me away from his meal. It's easy to see the hook in the lower jaw.

Awesome footage.How far out and about how deep was the water at that point?

We kicked out from shore - maybe about 350 yards at the furthest out we went. No more than 20 ft deep.

Here you can see the Pier - it's 900 ft. The red circle is where I found the group feeding. The yellow circle is where I found the small pup.

Nice.That long pier reminds me of a place in Puerto Rico that has a similar pier and we dive and jump from it into the water.

I was rafting down the shenendoah river and it is THE BEST place in the world for catfish. I saw 28 channel cats, 16 blue catfish and 3 flatheads. And then a giant SCHOOL of 100+ channel catfish. I have never seen anythinglike it. I have footage of the "school" of 2 foot channel catfish swimming. everytime i saw a catfish i would jump outta the raft free dive down and film it. The school was CRAZY! I did not know channel cats schooled like that!

Sounds cool but this is not a rafting or catfish sighting thread.
