I'm so proud - I found some Hippocampus bargibanti some years ago in Bali - by myself!! The dive guide and I were looking at the sea fan on either side - and I found them...
He said that's funny because normally they're sitting on the other side (I think the normal direction was towards the current)...
Next month I get another chance to get better pictures of the pygmies in Raja Empat - they say they have every species there...![Winking :wink: :wink:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
When I was in Komodo they told us that every photographer is only allowed to take 3 pictures of the same pygmy because they are so delicate. It is believed they could die from repetitive flash or at least they would move away. And the dive guides really had an eye on the photographers!
Sometimes the photographers have to leave out one shot if the pygmies are not cooperative - that's life. I hate it when I see people trying to harrass the pygmies to move them to a better location...![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
