(Canon EF100,1/200,f14,iso100)
Thuridilla hopei. Often mistaken for a nudibranch, it is a sacoglossal opisthobranch without dorsal appendages. It can only be spotted with a keen eye, on the rocky seabed a few meters deep. Rarely exceeds 2cm in length.

Goniobranchus hintuanensis.The difficulty is to stay lower than it so as not to lose depth of field. As soon as you touch the muddy bottom, a fine dust rises up and everything disappears. But still fun!_Jan 2024
(Canon EF100,1/200,f14,iso100 )

Bavosa Cervina( Parablennius incognitus)_Oct 2023
(Canon EF100,1/200,f8,iso100)
We often don't see them, but a thousand eyes watch us while we swim or dive with our sophisticated equipment that makes lots of bubbles. Like this friendly hermit crab which I found on a rock a few meters deep.
(Canon EF100, 1/200, f14,iso100)
