White Seahorse Swims Away

White Pygmy Seahorse (Hippocampus pontohi)

Date: May 20, 2018

Sunabe Seawall

Chatan-cho

Okinawa Prefecture

Japan

Depth 60 feet or 18 meters of depth under water

 

I strapped Go Pro Hero 4 to my rig when i did this dive. Shawn Miller (#yeahIknowshawnmiller) found this Pygmy Seahorse and called me over to get some shots. A challenging subject! You can see how small it is and how it moved across to the other side of the crevice in this short video clip.
