Title: Curacao Diving
Post by: JohnnyCastaway on November 20, 2006, 02:30:00 PM
In a word, AWESOME!  beautiful healthy coral, lots of cool marine life, I saw a few fish and coral that I've never seen before, as well as one goal that I had set for myself while we were down there.

 the Flamigo Tongue Nudibranch, very small hard to find, but I did find one on the last day, and had to take the picture(s) doing "station keeping" into a current, maintain bouyancy, and try to get the camera in on a this little guy who is only about an inch long, without disturbing the soft coral that it was munching on.  More pictures to come as well as the dive and trip reports.

WoW!!!  Those are amazing!!!
 
 
 The water does seem even clearer that in Cozumel.  Loved the pictures of the aeneminis, and the squid.
 
 Thanks for sharing!

Thanx everyone, I did find it a bit easier to take pictures here as there were hardly any currents at all, except for when I found the Nudibranch.  That makes all the difference in the world to the pictures when you can get up close to the subject without having to worry about being dragged across the coral by the current.  it also allowed me to do some major practice on my bouancy control.    :D
