I woke up kinda early and worked on my IDs. I have had to post quite few on the Facebook groups for help lately. Groups have a rule of three posts a day so I’m splitting my posts between the two.
The dive sites were so rough we had to go to three of them before diving at Black Rhino. And we saw dolphin on the way. I threw my Go Pro under the water at the bow but they weren’t having it and swam away.
The second dive was at School’s out. We found some more Jorunna rubescens! These are the ones that look like a rat. I always say that I would like to have a little pocked Jorunna rubescens to carry around in my purse… like a little pocket poodle.
The afternoon dive on the house reef was pretty lame. I did make it over to the second cement mooring block and tried to use my diopter but I really didn’t get any good subjects.
The night dive was good. It was just me and Nikko and Timo. The site was "Barry’s one and a half". (They have two Barry’s dive sites and this one was halfway in between.). For the first time, I encountered a big active net underwater. I had to lift it up and swim under it to continue the dive.
At dinner Lauren and Max told a story about naming dive sites. Usually a dive site is named after the person they do the exploratory dive with. A friend and his teenage daughter came to do an exploratory dive with Max. They liked the site and afterward, they asked the daughter what she wanted to name it… and she said Big Blue. Max hated that name and changed it to Max’s Point (although it is also subtitles Big Blue).
Here are today’s slugs:
152 - Mexichromis trilineata
153 - Baeolidia salaamica
154 - Hypselodoris maculosa
155 - Phyllidia ocellata (color variation)
