Thanks Andy! They are called Kelp Bass. I call them Stoners. They just drift with kelps and hang out/sleeping during the day. In this shot, I just joined them and drifted for a while. They are not afraid of divers and I was basically in the middle of giant pile of them.

Just dove Lake Tahoe yesterday. A couple shots from that. So I guess they are not *sea* creatures but underwater world photo nonetheless.

Sug, quite envious of your visibility. Around here it's about five feet this time of year. What's your water temp.

Very nice shots by the way. If I may ask, what camera system are you using?

Lake Tahoe is kinda special. I regularly dive in Monterey/Carmel all year, and the water temp is about 60-50 Fº most of time. Visibility varies quite a bit. 5 feet to 30 feet.

I'm using Oly E-PM1 and 9-18mm Zuiko in Oly housing and Zen domed lensport, a Sea & Sea YS-01 strobe for close-ups. Hoping to add another YS-01 soon...
