Heading along a fixed transit line to the wreck of the HMAS Brisbane, the wreck only visible in the last 10m, so around 30m of open ocean to traverse from the mooring line. Ilford XP2 Super 400
This image (the blue and the "rays") is a left over from the Twirl effects some of us did last year. This is before you twirl the rays. It occurred to me that it looked like the underwater scenes we see on TV when scuba divers look up into the sun.
I added some sea life as follows:
Real jellyfish from Iceland
A dried seahorse, layers multiplied. Don't ask me why I have a dried seahorse, I have had it forever and I don't know where it came from.
Fish that started out as an orange glass fish in the eclectic garden, also 3 copied three times.
The whale fluke is a pendant which I didn't use for the "nothing in focus" theme for Smile on Saturday. I thought it looked quite good underwater :)
Diving into the dephts of The Bay is as fun...as dangerous!

Tasked with utilising the inventory of 75262 Sith TIE fighter (to supplement parts from my own collection), I chose to use a pair of the new pointy 2x4 wedge plates as the basis of a Mandalorian helmet. Except I opted for something a little more aquatic - surely some Mandalorian water planet exists that justifies this unique variant! ;D

It was interesting to watch these learner Scuba divers in the shallows of the clear blue waters off the Portsea Pier. The beach behind is the opposite side of the pier, closer to the eastern part of the curve that leads to the Heads. Portsea has a large number of wealthy inhabitants and a lovely Portsea Hotel that overlooks the pier and the yachts moored nearby.
It is possible that one day I will swim past one of these without taking a photo, but it seems unlikely.
This monster is almost a meter in diameter. The spots on the mantle are light sensitive so it can shut a bit for predators, but they can never completely close. The mantle colours are the real treat: purples and greens and yellows and reds. Sometimes blue.
Entry to Andrew's Contest... With some editing :P
Also sorry for the bad photo.. My good(er) camera broke :"(
You'll have to trust me for now that there are hert/ atak pieces here, at least until the water goes down...

Koh Nang Yuan is a small island located near Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand. It is known for its striking beauty, white sandy beaches and the unique narrow strip of white sand that connects the three small islands. This sandbar only appears at low tide and creates a picturesque view. Koh means "island" in Thai, and Tao refers to "turtle". The name is derived due to the presence of sea turtles in the waters surrounding the island. Like Koh Tao, Koh Nang Yuan is known for its excellent diving and snorkeling opportunities. The underwater world around the island is rich in coral reefs and various marine animals. Visitors can enjoy activities such as kayaking, snorkeling, diving and relaxing on the idyllic beaches. On Koh Tao you can encounter different types of soft corals, including fan corals and soft leather corals. Here you often find the famous Finding Nemo clownfish and other clownfish. They are often associated with sea anemones, in which they seek shelter from predators. The area is also home to various types of hard coral, such as brain coral, table coral and staghorn coral. You can find colorful parrotfish feeding on coral and algae. Reef sharks can be seen regularly here, especially during deeper dives. You can encounter different types of moray eels, such as the giant moray eel. Sea cucumbers, sea urchins and starfish: these marine invertebrates are found on the seabed. Several species of lobsters and crabs inhabit the cracks and holes in the reef. Sea turtles are the most iconic inhabitants of the waters around Koh Tao. You may encounter several species of sea turtles, including the green sea turtle and the hawksbill turtle.
Sea turtles are often seen on diving and snorkeling trips around Koh Tao island, and sometimes they even rest on the seabed or swim along the reef. An encounter with a friendly sea turtle in the water is an unforgettable experience. We came across a very old turtle with a shell length of up to 2 meters! Sea turtles can live more than 100 years. These gentle creatures are curious by nature and can sometimes come close to you, creating wonderful interactions. Sea turtles often exude a calm and tranquil grace as they glide through the water. Their slow, fluid movements can be hypnotic and convey a sense of peace. An encounter with a friendly sea turtle leaves a deep impression and makes you aware of the importance and conservation of marine animals in their habitat. It is a reminder of the fragility and beauty of the underwater world. Koh Nang Yuan is sensitive to the impact of tourism, and efforts are being made to preserve the island. Visitors are often encouraged to take back their waste and follow sustainable practices. It is important to respect local regulations to preserve the beauty of the island for future generations.
Koh Nang Yuan is een klein eiland dat zich bevindt in de buurt van Koh Tao in de Golf van Thailand. Het staat bekend om zijn opvallende schoonheid, witte zandstranden en de unieke smalle strook wit zand die de drie kleine eilanden met elkaar verbindt. Koh betekent "eiland" in het Thais, en Tao verwijst naar "schildpad". De naam is afgeleid vanwege de aanwezigheid van zeeschildpadden in de wateren rondom het eiland. Net als Koh Tao staat Koh Nang Yuan bekend om zijn uitstekende duik- en snorkelmogelijkheden. De onderwaterwereld rondom het eiland is rijk aan koraalriffen en diverse zeedieren. Op Koh Tao kun je verschillende soorten zachte koralen tegenkomen, waaronder waaierkoralen en zachte lederkoralen. Hier vind je vaak de bekende Finding Nemo-clownvis en andere anemoonvissen. Ze vinden hier beschutting tegen roofdieren. Je kunt kleurrijke papegaaivissen vinden die zich voeden met koraal en algen. Rifhaaien zijn hier regelmatig te zien, vooral tijdens diepere duiken. Je kunt verschillende soorten murenes tegenkomen, zoals de reuzenmurene. Zeekomkommers, zee-egels en zeesterren zijn te vinden op de zeebodem. Verschillende soorten kreeften en krabben bewonen de scheuren en gaten in het rif. Zeeschildpadden zijn de meest iconische bewoners van de wateren rond Koh Tao. Je kunt verschillende soorten zeeschildpadden tegenkomen, waaronder de groene zeeschildpad en de hawksbill-schildpad. Deze majestueuze wezens rusten zelfs op de zeebodem of zwemmen langs het rif. Een ontmoeting met een vriendelijke zeeschildpad in het water is een onvergetelijke ervaring. Wij kwamen een zeer oude schildpad tegen met een schildlengte van wel 2 meter! Zeeschildpadden kunnen meer dan 100 jaar oud worden. Deze zachtaardige wezens zijn nieuwsgierig van aard en kunnen soms dicht bij je komen, waardoor er prachtige interacties ontstaan. Zeeschildpadden stralen vaak een kalme en rustige gratie uit terwijl ze door het water glijden. Hun langzame, vloeiende bewegingen kunnen hypnotiserend zijn en een gevoel van vrede overbrengen. Een ontmoeting met een vriendelijke zeeschildpad heeft een diepe indruk achtergelaten en maakt je bewust van het belang en het behoud van zeedieren in hun leefomgeving. Het is een herinnering aan de fragiliteit en schoonheid van de onderwaterwereld.
