Incredible camouflage for these creatures and so difficult to spot sometimes

 
West coast water temps 33C and air temps >40C
What are the air and water temps there now? It must be oppressive heat and humidity there this time of the year (above and below surface)

Ouch. I remember diving a wreck out of Dubai in the summer with these temperatures and never did it again. I started diving east only after that.

I didn't know you were into video too. Good job, you just need a bigger camera light unit.

Thanks Burhan.

If I'd been using lights I would probably have scared them off. I'm sure there is some software that I can use to brighten it ups a bit, but until now I'm only using iMovie on my Mac.

I like videos that focus on one animal in one scene without being too long, exactly just like you did.

P.S. Some light won't scared them off as I have tried it before. They may even get attracted to it as long as it isn't too strong.

I think that you should do more videos. Perhaps you use the TG6 for video and the Nikon for photos. Again, I like what you did above very much. (I think that you should use some sort of an Arabic music however :) )

I have a short attention span too these days 🤣
 
Back at the Bridge this morning just as the tide was coming in.

Found two seahorses and came across a spotted eagle ray too, so it was a pretty good dive.

This seahorse is on a chopstick that I used to mark the location where I found one a couple of week ago
