Rob and I made two great dives on an a sunny, 77 degree day. Tomorrow's forecast is a high of 55... Anyway, the big thrill of the day was seeing paddlefish. Rob was taking some photographs of me looking at a freshwater jellyfish, when all of a sudden I see a 4' paddlefish swimming behind him. It is unusal for paddlefish to be observed by divers on scuba, as they normally shy away from the noise and bubbles.
My strobe has an effective range of around 4', so the pictures don't do justice to the beauty of the fish. I was not able to close the gap to any closer than 12' or so. Still, a big thrill for the two of us. There were at least two different fish, and they kept coming back every few minutes. My guess is that they were as curious about us, as we were about them.
I'm sure Rob will chime in about his "not so dry, dry suit".
