The photo wench takes her new camera for her first shore dive at Mucky Pirates Bay
After being sick for most of May, I was excited to take my new camera for my first dive to Mucky Pirates Bay with Abdul from Sea Rovers. We enjoyed a very leisurely 120 minute dive checking out the residents below the pier and out to the moorings. Here is some of what we saw.
Friendly pipefish
You don’t always get to see under the skirt of a nudibranch
This lionfish was too big for my lens, so I got a closeup of his face
I thought Abdul pointed me to a clump of sand until I looked at it with the 10x diopter–a TINY scorpionfish
Who doesn’t love Nemo? There’s a nice anemone with false clownfish at 6-7 meters so it’s a great place for your safety stop
Wonderful as usual Kat. My favorite of course is the nudibranch.
Thanks Donna. I’m partial to that one as well.
Sorry to hear you’ve been sick but glad you’re back in action. Love your pictures…as always you don’t disappoint. I’ve always wonder how do you ever find what these underwater living creatures are named?
Thanks Irma. There are reference books to look through that help with the creature identification. If I don’t have one of the books handy, I check online.
Loved “under the skirt!” Well done, Kat.
Thanks Cathy–always appreciate your feedback.
