Mathing of the Sepia in the Oosterschelde. In the rear side you can see the objects were their eggs are fastened.
Cretana peregrina. Usual I like to take the pictures from the front, and not from above like this one.
Facelina bostoniensis, close up of the head. When the visibility is poor in the Netherlands, Macro can save our dive ;-)
Hypselodoris gasconi is a common specie in the Mediterranean Sea.

Proving great subjects can be found close to home
Thes nordsea crabs are in love
On my first dive with my DSLR, the Olympus E330 with 50mm macro, I made this shot of the Aeolidia papillosa. Ofcourse there is not so much colour in our country. I'm looking forward to use this camera in Spain, were much more colour can be expected.
These karpers are normaly hard to encounter. I made this picture waiting with my snorkel between the vegetation, I could almost tough him.
The green colour is tipical for the Dutch waters. My buddy Wim van Geenen at Anna Jacobapolder
The Facelina bostoniensis is one of the interesting nudy branches in the Oosterschelde (connected to the Northsea)
