Underwater photos from Sonoma Coast

Hi Guys.  I haven't been around much, but I haven't been diving much since the NCKA cortez trip either.  I dove the sunday after the ab opener with my brother and a friend.  I thought the water would still be dirty from the week of 20 knt winds, but we had 10-12 ft of vis.  I spent the first 3/4 of the dive taking pictures.  I pulled a few scallops got cold (it was in the high 40's) and got out.

The pictures are:
China rockfish
Cabezon
Cabezon's head
Cabezon's eye
1 scallop
3 scallops

Totally awesome shots!  What kind of camera you sportin', Justin?

Cabezon all camo'd out in their natural habitat are one of the most beautiful things anywhere.   

Ditto what he said, what kind of camera and setup are you using?  Those shots are money.

Incredible eye!
I am awe struck.
I have never gotten a scallop. How the heck would you farm that thing?

You should pat yourself on the back, those pictures are stunning! Thanks for sharing

Wow, awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing seahunter.

Nice photos dude so clear and hi-def. Wish my aquarium looked as clear and colorful as that.

 Glad to see you back at it Justin! Great shots..

WOW!

Nice shots.  Bet you're using UW flash since colors are so vivid!  Thanks for the report and pictures.

Nice shots. Were you free diving or scuba? How deep were the scallops? Mike

Justin, those pictures are just fantastic. I ditto what Mike asked. How deep were you diving? I have found scallops at Fisk Mill in 30ft. I found one at just 15ft years ago at the south end of Fisk Mill. Thanks so much for posting. These photos are national geographic quality. Do you mind if I download some of them for my desktop screen? The eye shot is just too much!

Those are some awesome photos!  Professional quality.  Thanks for sharing.

Man you are a SuperDiveHero! those are some EDUCATING SHOTS there. I would have never guessed it looks so nice down there. Thanks for thinking about the LessSkilled(as in me) and sharing your wonder powers.
Them Cabbies think they're SLICK, don't they? 

Nice work as always brother.  For those of you who don't know him he isn't just a freediving super hero, but a great photographer and an incredible film maker. 

Here are a few of my favorite vids he has made (be prepared to feel inspired but VERY mortal)...





Oh yeah...he also makes all of his own spearguns by hand.
