Adam F Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) No problem - all take on Tues on either the Frognor or the Alex Van Opstal out of Weymouth - circa 30-35m: Just for Charlie... Edited July 17, 2009 by Adam F Quote
Rob Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Any idea of size Adam? because it is difficult to judge how big that Redgill is! Rob Quote
JIMBOB Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 There great Adam, never seen the goby by the red gill before looks like a leopard spotted goby, would be nice in my tank!! Really got to get my backside out diving again Quote
great white Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Great Pictures Adam. Never realised it was so colourful at that depth. Do you see many shads and redgills LOL Charlie Quote
Paul J Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Nice one Adam it's very interesting to see whats down there. PJ Quote
Coddy Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Great pictures Adam Love the one of the Tompot You might have to give us a slide show one club evening Dave Quote
Bream on Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Excellent pictures Adam, what camera are you using? Cheers Will Quote
TomBettle Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Lovely pictures Adam! Amazing to see the colours. Quote
Adam F Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks guys The colour that you see if the result of using a strobe - it doesnt look like that with the MK1 eyeball.... The redgill in the conger pic is a std 9" one so the eel was about 20/30lb. The biggest one Ive seen was sat in the conning tower of the M2 Sub in lime bay - head like a horse! It's amazing the kit you see on the wrecks - the Binnendyk was covered on Tues - I could have had about a dozen big new flashy pirks - just didnt fancy getting a treble in a grand's worth of drysuit! James - yes it is a leopard goby - stunning. It's surprising the amount of mini species you see - hundreds of pout, pollock and wrasse, but blennys, gobies, ballions wrasse, etc... I'll do a slide show when I do the video in a few months time at the meeting. Quote
alun j. Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Hi Adam, might be worth taking down some cutters........ chop off any sharp bits and retrieve the expensive flashy bits ?? Quote
boybilly Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 Absolutely astounding pics. Got to get my act together and learn to dive. Been offered a free course this year so will deffo take it up. Nice one Adam. As a species hunter, the amount of minis down there must be great. Could you name a few of the rarer ones down there? I am on 65 Marine species at the moment, but Leopard Spotted Goby is,nt one of them. Regards, Billy Quote
mike02380 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 great pics adam, do you know what the animal is in the picture under the pout shoal? it looks just like the duncans coral i have in my tropical reef aquarium although different colouration Quote
Graham Nash Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 fantastic pictures Adam. So good in fact, that they inspired me to take a day diving course over at Swanage as a taster. Absolutely amazing and i am booking the PADI open water course in a few weeks. I am totally hooked!! Thanks. Quote

Let me know when your qualified and I'll take you out. Swanage pier has some of the most diverse marine life Ive seen around the whole of the south cost - in just 4/5 mtrs of water ive seen in the last few years: black faced blennies, lumpsuckers, john dory, triggers, all of the wrasse we encounter....
