A midday dive today at the Bridge, air temps well in excess of 40C and water temp 34C, it was hot!
Diving with two other buddies and was also snooting using the 60mm lens.
Best seahorse shot
Also came across an Armina sp. munching on a sea pen

Those are great macro shot.

A nice two hour 20 min dive today around lunchtime, hot air temps (45C) and 34C water temp.
I decided to use my 105mm lens today, but was regretting it as the vis was the worst it's been in weeks at 2m or less.
However, I did manage to get up close to some shrimp gobies with it, but no shrimps.
I also came across a very orange seahorse in an area I hadn't explored in a while, so that was a bonus.
Snooting with the 105mm lens proved too much with the autofocus and less than clear conditions though.

Back at the Bridge again this morning for a nice relaxing solo dive and doing some exploring in a rubble area looking for nudis.
I was not disappointed
Goniobranchus obsoletus
Also found some Kabeiro rubroreticulata on hydroids
As well as an Elysia sp. that I've not seen before
Water temp a nice 34C

I think that by now you should have enough material/photos for Nudis in the UAE to publish a book about them. Your book will be the only one for UAE
OP
Water was 35C this afternoon, no nudis, but several seahorses including the smallest one I've found so far at this site.
Apologies for the poor focus
Back in the hydroids where I found it

Got a much better shot of that juvenile seahorse today
Found NINE in total during the dive whilst exploring another area despite my main intention to find nudibranchs today.
