Dive #464 - Wall Beach - 11 February 2021
Beautiful dive at Dolphin today. Dale spotted some kind of sucker fish. Little orange nudi. Brown rockfish. Gumboot chitons of all sizes, including a few cute little ones, and a few with yellow mottling. Two ling cod egg masses guarded by dads. Beautiful spiral nudi egg ribbon. Some big healthy-looking sunflower stars. Male wolf eel has taken up residence, although was shy.
I was swimming along and almost ran head-first into a big male GPO that was sitting out on the sand/rock. He started to trundle along, doing a little hunting for snacks and not bothered by our presence at all. He found a tree branch and chewed it in half (!!!). My video light worked great to get some nice photos of him out and about. I ended up in deco and went up into the water column to watch from above.
I don't know what it is about this year and GPO encounters, but this is the 4th one this season that's been out and about without caring divers are around.

A pregnant copper rockfish missing most of her tail :-( She was able to swim okay, though, it seemed.
