Necora puber (velvet crab). In the North Sea most creatures try to blend in with their environment rather than stand out. I guess investing in bright colours is less rewarding in environments with lower visibility. (f/5, 1/250, ISO-200, 14mm). - Els

My favorite type of photographing under water is wide angle with model(s). This time we found a ball under water and that ball was not floating and not really heavy. Exactly fitting for some fun under water. It ended in trying to play volleyball.

Sepia officinalis camouflaged on a silty sloping bottom in the estuary of the river Scheldt. Never seen big ones here. The one in the picture was 10cm at most. Every year they migrate from the sea up the river to mate and lay their eggs. - Erik
