Wow, great shots going on here lately!

I am finally going diving next weekend after a 6 month ski season. It will be freshwater so the likelihood of finding any Nudis is nil, but at least it will be underwater.

The first one is a Dendronotus venustes, formerly known as Dendronotus frondosus.

yeah, i know, a sucky photo.. The little bugger was on a mission and it did not include patiently waiting while I got a shot or two of it..

Isn't finding a new nudi the best feeling ever? Well, maybe the second best?

Was a pretty awesome dive to begin with, and finding the nudi late in the dive topped it off in terms of awesomeness.. wish I could of gotten a better photo. oh well.. time to go back and shoot some more..

I need to find a SWIMMING spanish dancer next time Im down in the red sea. Ive only seen them snailing (pun intended) along the bottom..

I need to dig up the video I have from a night dive in 1997 off the coast of Kona, Hawaii. It was simply mesmerizing to watch the Spanish Dancer Nudibranch do its undulating dance in the water column in the pitch black water. If I find the video I will post it here, somewhere.

We have a similar nudibranch along the west coast of North America called Dendronotus iris.
