Cool dive day

16/10/2014 1 Von andiline

Today you see a happy diver again. The two morning dives were unbelievable. I will have to count how many different kinds of nudibranches we saw. It was at least 20 and there were several that I hadn’t seen before. After more than 100 dives here in Lembeh I am still amazed at how much stuff I am still seeing that I haven’t seen before. Tomorrow morning we will go on an explorer dive and then to a dive-site that I don’t know yet. So I will probably have two very interesting dives as a finish for these dive-days. In the afternoon I have to start preparing my trip home. Can’t believe that the 5 weeks are already over….

One of the nudibranches. Do you see it’s eye?

Tiger shrimp. This shrimp is very tiny, like 1 cm (not sure if it was even that big). And on the pictures I suddenly saw another pair of eyes below it. Do you find the transparent hermit crab? It can’t have been bigger than 1 or 2 mm….OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Wharty frogfish. This little guy was soooo cute. He started to walk around and it was so cute to observe him waddling around.

Isn’t this nudi a beauty? hadn’t seen this one before either.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I don’t know what the small thing next to the goby is. The eyes look like mantis shrimp, but I don’t know if it is a mnatis-baby…

Two flamboyant cuttlefish. The big white one is a male, the small one is the female. Obviously he didn’t like her as he tried to escape when she got closer… 😉 And he changed colour too so he looked like her. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
