My first Facelina auriculata of 2010, spotted yesterday at Goes, at a dept of 15 meters.
Aeolidiella Glauca
When the watertemperature in the Oosterschelde reaches 12 degrees the Cuttlefish is coming. For a lot of divers the reason to dive there now.
Picture taken down under, in a small canal close to my home. As long as I didn´t move visibility was OK ;-)

UFO !!!!!!
These jellyfish looks like an Ufo in space. The backscatter are the stars, I didn’t remove it because I like the effect.
My budy Frans taking pictures of Cyclopterus lumpus. I was iritated that he tooks pictures at the same moment I try to photograph him.... Then I realized he is using slave flashes....
Cyclopterus lumpus can be found in the beginning of each year in our Oosterschelde. The coloured males stay in the neighbourhood of the eggs for about 6 weeks. After that they disappear to deeper waters. Notice the green colour of our Northsee.
The first time I ever saw Syngnathus acus mating, last weekend in our Oosterschelde. Unfortunately I had my macro lens on the camera :-(
