Found this n front of the Villa

[Prop Joe]

I was along for my Niece's first discover scuba dive and found this:








I can't remember what Sallye said it was? It was moving pretty quick across the sand and that is why I spotted the creature.




I don't know, but she looked awfully comfortable for a first time diver... Cant wait to get her back diving again. She's a natural. I wish I had a pic of her smile when we got out of the water. Ear to ear. Unforgettable stuff.

+1. Maybe Cassiopeia xamachana or Cassiopeia frondosa depending on where you were.

very nice, we have some at the Children's Aquarium in Dallas, but I've never seen one down there.

I tried to gently go underneath the thing in the sand, to flip it over, without touching and it wanted no part of that maneuver. I let it be. Sallye thought it came from a boat that was in cloudy/murky water at some point and when the boat berthed at Puerto Abrigo, the Cassioapia made a break for it. Puerto Adrigo is just a few houses up from Villa Aldora. Villa Aldora is about 1/2 mile north of El Centro/San Miguel.
Anyway a cool find, on a great dive that that had other great things going for it = Shore Dive Bonus!
