This little toad fish came in to see what I was doing but wouldn't come any closer than this - great visibility on this dive. Tokina 10-17mm, 1/200 sec, ISO 100
Just to post something that's not a weedy seadragon, this juvenile Australian fur seal was a constant companion on this dive. Very poor vis at about 0.5 meters he/she was right at the dome peering in. ISO 100, 1/200 sec, Tokina 17mm
