First dive of the year. Great to be back in the water again, and the long surface swim out from the beach with a big camera was a well needed workout.
Plenty of interesting creatures.
A pair of Risbecia tryoni, chromodorid nudibranchs.
White-eyed Moray, Gymnothorax thyrsoideus
Whitemouth moray, Gymnothoraz melegaris
Plenty of clownfish hiding in their anemones. These included the false clown anemonefish (aka clown anemonefish) Amphiprion ocellaris, and the Pink anemonefish, Amphiprion perideraion.
The dive spot also lived up to its name as we came across a turtle. It was a green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) with several common remora (Remora remora) attached to its shell. It was resting in a bowl in the coral when we found it, then after a while headed up toward the surface.
Overall a fantastic couple of dives. Really have to get out more often. Huge thank you to Hiroshi for getting me back in the water.
