the wreck of the "Santa" not far from the coast from the island Menorca. Lot of current and 28 min. decompression stop ( depth 47m ). Anyway... a very nice dive.

just a flying Octopus ( lat. Octopus vulgaris )
Detail from a bell of Pelagia noctiluca ( Luminescent jellyfish ).
Cratena peregrina. My favorite Nudi in the Mediterranean.

Jellyfish Lake? No, just Mediterranean Sea after Tramontana ( strong wind from the north ). There sometimes a lot of pelagic life very close to the coast.
shortlistedShortlisted!
