Snoot Signal

The current was rippin’ at Brand New Beth and Kirby so we ended up diving at The Wreck at first.  We did Brand New Beth on the second dive and it is really awesome… we found so much stuff!

Lightroom is crashing on me again.  This sucks.  I spend more time every dive trip trying to get that damn thing working.  (OMG.  I sound like an old person.)

A dive guide named Book is helping people snoot subjects.  Snooting is basically directing a small beam of light on your subject so all the background clutter is gone.  I asked him how we signal that we want to snoot a subject.  And he gave me the hand signal… Um it’s a pretty dirty hand gesture if you didn’t know what a diver was asking for!

157 - Glossodoris cincta

158 - Thorunna halourga

159 - Thorunna daniellae

160 - Dermatobranchus funiculus

161 - Unknown (lavendar with white margin and orange rhinophores/gills and orange spots down the back)

162 - Tritonia sp

Originally thought was Pruvotfolia rhodopos

166 - Kabeiro christianne

167 - Hexabranchus sanguineus
