Incredibly blue water around El Hierro, the most occidental of the Canary Islands. Picture taken at the last minute of the last dive of the regional championship, and part of the winning portfolio.
A little bit special gorgonian fan. Not the usual shape, but not so boring smile
Picture taken in the southeast of Gran Canaria, at -30 m.
