Nudibranch Lovers

Yea Nudibranchs!!!

So here is a question for all the Nudibranch lovers out there, where is the best snorkeling for Nudibranchs?

I am no longer diving due to being bent twice but I sure miss the Nudis and all the other wonders of the aquatic realm.

I'm so glad I got to dive Blue Heron Bridge with Scuba Jenny on my second to last dive.

Sorry to hear about this @Tjack

Yesterday I took a sequence of shots of a Caloria militaris at a site off Fujairah, UAE.

Any island with lagoon flats will be good for snorkeling for Nudibranchs. Google earth Heron Island Australia for an idea of an island with lagoon flats.

I wonder if PADI has a Nudi Porn Speciality

The very first nudis that I ever saw were doin' it!

Peirce Island (Portsmouth, New Hamsphire) has been absolutely fantastic this winter.

The hydroid field is dense and there are hundreds, if not thousands of nudibranchs to be photographed.

Here are a few from yesterday (January 25th) We had about 30ft+ (~9m) of visibility which is really good for this dive site. Water temperature is around 38-39f (~4c) and a max depth of 74ft (~22m)
