Where did you dive today?

[MXGratefulDiver]

Back to my local mudhole. I found yet another exquisitely cute little critter with the most uncute name of "snailfish". It's about three inches long, and rather shy ...

We also found several more lumpsuckers. This one is a most unusual color ... in fact, it blended in with the rock it was sitting on so well that I almost didn't see it ...

And finally, in the "tiny" category ... slug on a stick. This flabellina nudibranch is only about a half-inch long. The hermit crab below it is so small I didn't even notice it was there until I downloaded the picture ...

This was all on a very shallow night dive along the edge of an eelgrass bed ... max depth 17 fsw, average depth 11 fsw, total bottom time 68 minutes ...

Thaty is a very cool looking fish and it looks like it would have been rather tough to spot. Good find and great shot.

Beautiful shot of the Nudi

That's what you call your local mudhole??

I went to mine today, 3°C water temp, 22m. Around lunchtime, and it was dark below 6m already. THAT's what I call mudhole

42 min dive. The lake is call St. Leon Rot, in Southern Germany.

Wow ... that's cold. Our local waters are about 9 degrees C right now. And Puget Sound is typically murky. Since it was a night dive, it was dark as soon as we left the surface ...

But night time is the best time for critters ...
