Ningaloo - some from a new secret spot

[alcina]

We went exploring yesterday and found a very cool new muck diving site. It's a secret, so don't ask where it is Tons of tiny creatures, fabulous sea stars of all colours, barrel sponges, cool rays, anemones filled with minute shrimps and clarkiis - just too much to mention. We can't wait to head back. Should be working, so have only glanced at the photos - only have a few, I think, as I was playing more than shooting!

These guys were all over - and every single one was motoring at about a hundred miles an hour!

Nice!! Will you take me there if I promise to keep a blindfold on above 5 meters depth ??

Having been on this dive too, I can say with some authority that you probably wouldn't enjoy the dive very much. Maximum depth was 5m!

Hey, I got 5.6m! And Nick would probably have a great time with us...bribery might work

Wow. That is a great shot. I am personally partial to nudibranchs. They are amazing creatures. And 5m is a fantastic depth for diving. I personally don't understand what the draw to "Deep Water" is. All the really cool macro organisms live in the shallower reefs.

Fantastic shot.

You can pm me the location. I promise not to tell

Pipefish - Gudge found this guy and it was the biggest one I've ever seen!

Hey, no problems staying between 5 and 5.6m, that just means more bottom time. Woohoo!! As for bribes - how 'bout I bring the pinic ?

Wow, Kristin, that is an awesome pipefish portrait! What kind is it?

Those are sweet. I love watching Nudis swim, the way they fold themselves and squirt is just really cool.
