nice 'wish you were here' shot Rick
Mating of Nudibranch
2 beautifull Nudibranchs in Yap Micronesia.Some of the Nudibranchs were more colorfull than the fish.Always the best subjects for posing for pictures.
We were underwater at about 45ft. at a cleaning station waiting for what seemed forever. Then after 40 minutes out of the blue comes this huge Manta flying gracefully overhead. This was the first Manta we had ever seen and Wow! what a beauty.
Couple partially out of the hole to check out the "goodies" brought by my spotter or they are simply just infuriated with him.
