Most divers in the Pacific Northwest are always looking for a handful of critters:

  • Octopus
  • Wolf Eel
The third creature - the "holy grail" so to speak, is the six-gill shark. This is my fourth summer of diving - and so far, I've been fortunate enough to have seen at least one six-gill every summer - except for this summer. Tonight, that changed.

My computer said 104 fsw (feet salt water) and there she was. I frantically waved my light towards Chris hoping he would see what I saw before I lost track of her. And he did - and there was no chance of losing sight of her - she swam around us for quite a while before we had to leave because of air and deco limitations.

Obviously this is its tail, and not that great of a shot. Trust me - it gets better.
