@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!

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 😱​

@slomo and I did our first dive of the season last weekend and saw a lot of cute and interesting creatures.

Got a new Olympus Tough TG-6 camera, still learning how it works. Had to edit especially the landscape pictures, because they were accidentally shot with the shallow water mode on, but I'm quite happy with how the macro pictures turned out, especially for a new camera. Used @darktable for editing.
