100th GODS outing El Hierro

Taken straight from an email from DR. Tom:

 

The pictures were taken during the 100th GODS outing in El Hierro. Ronnie sent you a blog some time ago so you know the story. The dive centre is in a village called La Restinga. It is small and almost over whelemed by lave which towers over part of it and walls it in on 3 sides. On the south side a small harbour shelters it from the sea. Diving was every thing I hoped it would be, lots of life and good vis. To take the photos I used a Fuji Film F40 fd. The diver in open water is I think Maeve Callinan, Colm OShea is the diver beside the rock. I took a shot of a brown Moray eel with white bindel cleaning shrimps, I did not see anything else until I got home and put it on my laptop. I then noted up to 12 Scorpion fish, "Madeira Rockfish". How many Rockfish can you count?
