We've had very few nudi sightings over the past month but they are back this weekend with a bang.

I've been using my new 105mm lens with a new port for my Sea&Sea housing but unable to fit the manual gear focus ring as it doesn't allow me to load the camera into the housing (and yes I know about the two yellow dot alignment to pass over the gear mechanism).

Autofocus frustrates the hell out of me and I miss too many shots.

Eubranchus sp., shot with the 60mm lens a week ago.

The remaining shots done with the 105mm lens this weekend.

Hypselodoris carnae

Caloria militaris

Two Goniobranchus annulata about to get jiggy with it.

The H. carnae were everywhere on one of the wrecks we dived

My favourite shot from the weekend is this H. kanga

Lastly I now had the opportunity to try out my Kraken +23 diopter on this H. carnae

End of January is not the best time at Bali - but still plenty of nudibranches.
Unfortunately I forgot to bring my Aquako IV diopter, very difficult for anything smaller than 5mm
here few of them - some are not or might incorrectly identified.

Great shots Wisnu.
 
found this undescribed Unidentia sp01 in the Mooloolah River on my last dive. So far this is the only location this species has been sighted.

Fresh water?
