Celebrating World Oceans Day - 8th June 2012

Today was World Ocean Day so it seemed like a good idea .. to go Diving. Our group today was truely international, with divers from Australia, America, Switzerland, and Germany who live in Austria, Germany and Spain.

Nudibrachs proliferate in Marine Reserve

May and June have always been the best time for divers to see nudibrachs here in the Marine Reserve, but this year we seem to have an abundance of these beautiful little creatures. A few days ago we thought it unusual to find 3 together, untill the afternoon dive where we found a group of ten all clustered together, and not just the green/black <i>Hypselodoris picta</i>, but also Leopard seaslugs and the Golden Sponge Snails (<i>Tylodina perversa</i>).
