@scubadivers Went for the season's first dive this weekend in Ammouliani, Greece, with @slomo . The water was quite cold, 17°C on average, around 18°C on surface, we measured as cold as 15°C at 25m.

We saw several Antiopella Cristata nudibranchs ♥, moray eels, octopuses, two huge Dentex Dentex, a scorpionfish, and a school of tuna.

Unfortunately I had to sit out one dive because my ear had started hurting (it's OK again now) so I missed the octopuses, the scorpionfish, and the tuna 😭

We'll upload pictures after we've processed them!

Featuring: Two white-dotted yellow Phyllidia flava on an orange sponge, a blue-purple Flabellina affinis, a white-blue-red-orange Cratena peregrina.

And a bearded fireworm, while not a nudibranch, it also has a long shape. Do not touch, it is going to hurt a lot for hours 😱​
