Rock Gunnel
Pholis gunnellus
Size
to 12"
Description:
Very slippery, hence the name. Found in coastal waters and inlets, near shore.
You might not think that color matters much, but I prefer light, bright colors for any accessory that I might drop or set down. This includes knives, lights, bags, weights, and many other things. Yellow is my favorite color for this.
Despite the fact that black is really the only cool color for tech divers, I prefer Coast Guard orange uppers on my drysuits. These make you easier to spot, whether in the murk of the quarry, or drifting away on the surface of the Atlantic.
DIR
All equipment must be black. Ha ha - just kidding. You guys can take a joke, right?
