NUDIBRANCHS
Including other sea slugs
Some of my photographs have been used in a new book published last year by Dr. Nathalie Yonow prompting me to review my list and some re-classification will be in order.
The book also includes photos by other people I have dived with when I was living in Jeddah, notably Jurgan Kuchinke (RIP), Kevin & Tuula Metcalfe, and Hagen Schmid

Sitting in KL airport en route to Penang for 5 days after diving up in Pulau Redang for the last few days with my daughter.
Only spotted one nudibranch when I had the 10.5mm lens on, Yanni had more luck on a shore dive (pics to follow once I am back in Dubai)
D300 housing working a treat, but left ear decided to give up on me during a morning dive, and from experience I know it is perforated, how bad ? well I need to see a doctor to get an evaluation, but my guess no diving for 6 weeks at least ..... bugga
Full story soon ..... watch this space
Thanks to Eric and Joe (another macro lover .... some of his photos will be posted soon) of Redang Bay Dive Center, also Richard, Carol, Melanie and Alexander from Paris, Hui Chai from KL, and Lea from Basel

Just spent two days diving at the Damaniyat Islands north of Muscat in Oman. Great viz, so I decided to experiment with my 10.5mm lens with dome port, with mixed results. A few more dives and I might just get it right for that elusive whale shark
Photo below will be linkable once I have returned to Dubai
