Description: 
A spotted handfish located adjacent to a filled depression, sighted during one of the spotted handfish monitoring dives. This photo was taken using an underwater camera and we were towing the GPS float at that time. We use the time stamp from the photo to trace along the GPS trace of each dive, which allowed us to pin point the coordinate of where the fish was sighted.
