UAE West Coast Temperatures

Vickie and hubby had snow jackets with fur hoodies on during last week's trip to Musandam haha.

I don't blame them.

Back to the Bridge yesterday with another buddy, but couldn't locate the nudis

Once again followed by the same cuttlefish throughout most of the dive



Also came across a 10mm juvenile triplefin blenny, not sure which exact species though

Three early morning dives over the past Fri-Sun

Friday, during the dive I discovered loads of nudis under the Bridge and my SD card registered full after the first few shots. Then we found a white seahorse and I was unable to delete some older shots from the SD card and somehow managed to screw some settings on the camera but resolved later at home.

Saturday I went back solo, loads of nudis but couldn't locate the seahorse

Sunday back again with two additional pairs of eyes and my buddy Azmy found the seahorse



Dozens of these Jorunna sp



And a Favorinus mirabilis munching away at the eggs of the aforementioned Jorunna

Back at the Bridge yesterday and 22C, I need an extra couple of degrees to return to my 5mm

The seahorse is still in roughly the same area, but I really need to start looking for more.



The Jorunna sp nudies are busy laying eggs all over the place
