Something else I came across was a crowd of hermit crabs fighting over a new shell, which was still occupied, but it seems they were hell bent in evicting the owner.

Beautiful video, you should do more video!!

Was the resident hermit crab evicted or eaten eventually?

Thanks Burhan

Didn't hang around to find out as my buddy was disappearing into the gloom.

Vis was only 2-3m, water temp 33C

Another morning dive and surprised to find a large (7-8cm) Dermatobranchus sp. crawling along the sand.



If I recall some Dermatobranchus sp. eat sea pens, and there's lots of them here.

Back at the Bridge again this morning with Kerstin and @Fires who did a shore dive with sidemount.



Bit of a current running with the tide change, plus it's springs with the new moon.

Compiled a video of seahorses off Dubai.

Was a great dive! Thanks for letting me tag along @Searcaigh

Today it was all about cuttlefish (Sepia sp.)



Couldn't find any seahorses, which was rather annoying as I'd taken the Nikon today, bloody Murphy!

Back to the Bridge again this morning, 124 min dive, getting a bit cooler at 32C

Nice relaxed dive with a couple of seahorses and a slug







Also spotted a juvenile batfish but didn't manage to get a head on shot.

Nice to have the place all to myself during the week.
