People have brought their dogs in the past but I have no idea what the official county rule is.
See photos of past participating pooches here:

As Julie stated above we will be there, also Dave and Peggy are coming. We are bringing a small propane grill and some hotdogs, tuna salad, if someone else has something to throw on the grill they are welcome. See ya there.

Sorry I will miss it. Hope to be here for the September gathering with photos and stories! Last time I came back from Thailand with shirts and purses. Anything anyone wants from this trip at the next ScubaClu gathering? Email me directly pslamont@yahoo.com
Just another day in P A R A D I S E !!

Wow what a turnout. I think we set a turnout record today even though it was overcast. Jim Klyman figured we had about 30 or 32 people and one dog. There was plenty of great food and we had 3 grills as well as a great shade system that Jim and Carey concocted! Wait a go guys. (If you ever get stuck on some desert island someplace you'd better have Jim along because he can improvise and engineer anything.)
The sea conditions were awesome - very calm/flat and the clarity was terrific. 5 divers took the plunge and we saw turtles galore as well as two mystery fishes with spiny fins. I took a real lousy photo of the fish with the spiny fins so Carey when I post it up you will have a great challenge identifying it. Our first dive lasted for an hour and 5 minutes. Josh and I did a second dive after lunch which lasted 55 minutes. A number of people went snorkeling and kayaking as well.
Pictures to follow.
Andrew

Fish ID (maybe) for Mike & Andrew
Mike (yo! Liz, get Mike to the screen!)
Could your fish have been:
http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=7874&genusname=Pseudanthias&speciesname=bicolor
(these guys are lavender on the bottom & can look more pinky purple than the picture…)
or a:
http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=7765&genusname=Labroides&speciesname=phthirophagus
(these guys normally show with a lot more magenta & blue than the picture & the juveniles have no yellow, & show more intense deep electric blue – cleaner wrasse that follows fish & divers around – made memorizing the genus name a little easier… like a Labrador…)
Andrew, (my bad! There are endemic lionfish!…. but they are not very common - seems like they never were & have been overfished for the aquarium trade…)
Look at the picture links for the green lionfish (more of a scorpion fish, so I kinda doubt it…):
http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=7781&genusname=Dendrochirus&speciesname=barberi
and the Hawaiian lionfish (mostly night or under ledges & in caves & not very common, but slightly more on the Kona side):
http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=7782&genusname=Pterois&speciesname=sphex
Also could be a juvenile form of the rockmover wrasse (only adding this ‘cause of the ‘tweener yellowtail coris Mike & I saw)…
http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=5610&genusname=Novaculichthys&speciesname=taeniourus
Andrew... looking at the tail??? picture of your fishy, & at the tail from this picture:
http://www.fishbase.org/Photos/PicturesSummary.php?ID=7782&what=species
.... Hawaiian Lionfish is probably a good match, maybe.... BTW nicely in focus, color great.... too bad the fish was in hiding...

Aloha all!! I posted pictures on the Punaweb Friends at:
http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/PunaWeb...rowse/aa10
Look for the Scuba Sunday album. I have to apologize for some of the photos - caught some people with their mouths full - so sorry but it was the only time I could get so many together! LOL

Hey Carrie: Awesome photos!
Carey Yost: My real lousy photo of the mystery fish with the spiny fins is not quite half way down on the page. Lion fish?
Enjoy folks and see you next time.
Andrew

Carey: Thanks for the links. From the links you show I would guess it to be a lion fish.
