Latest from the el Cabron Marine Reserve October 26

Golden-tail moray (Gymnothorax miliaris). It is very unusual to find these during the day. They are rare in Gran Canaria and there is only a small population in Arinaga (2-4?) and they are generally more active at night, hence the Spanish name ´Morena de lunares´ - the moray of the moons. - #divinggrancanaria, #buceo canarias, #morayeel

A week for the family ´Syngnathidae´ - two differnt seahorses (hippocampus hippocampus) and the very difficult to spot pipefish (pejepipa in Spanish) -syngathus typhle. They share the characteristics of a fused jaw, and being experts at concealment and hard to photograph! - #divinggrancanaria, #buceo canarias, #seahorse

What is about 2m long with big eyes, grey body, silent in the water.... no not a pelagic shark but a human-powered miniature submarine. Last week we had the first ever Sub-Racing event in Arinaga, and provided technical and safety support for the event. Lots of fun watchingthe teams get ´Rivershark´ and ´Chelonia´ racing across Arinaga Bay. Dont miss the event next year! - #subracing, #PlayaArinaga, #miniaturesubmarines
