Slug Stats

I am mostly packed and sitting at the dining room table drinking coffee one last time.  I feel very good about the trip.  I have a broken strobe to deal with but I was able to avoid this awful virus that made its way though the resort.  I only skipped one dive… which I SHOULD have gone on… they saw some good things on the house reef in the rain.

Here are the stats for this trip:

222 Unique Species of Nudibranchs.  That is down from 233 in 2023, but it beat all other years.  

Disclaimer: I went fast and made some mistakes.  I know at least two are probably cowries, not nudis.  I also looked at the nudis in a slide show and I feel like many of them seemed to be repeats... with just a different name.  I’ll review and adjust.

I believe over 40 of these are the first time I am seeing them in Alor.  

I will circle back with how many species are new to me on this trip.  I know that Bornella Anguilla and Kaloplocamus acutus and Goniobranchus sp. 15.

I did 76 Dives bringing me to a lifetime total of 2537.  I did 146 dives this year (not including any volunteer dives at Shedd).  That’s four more than last year.

Until next time!
