Colourful nude

[seaslug]

Dived the Rubicon estuary this morning off the Penguin Island channel marker.

Can only be done successfully at the top of the tide due the the strength of the current at other times.

Quite a few nudibranchs about but couldn't find the species I was particularly looking for. (Tambja verconis) I know they are there as one of my buddies got a photo of one!

This species is always good to find even though they are quite common.

Wonderful looking creature ...

Nice nudie.

Sounds like diving there is similar to diving at Port Philip heads. Did a drift dive there on a ebb tide once and I was wondering if we would hit Tasmania before we ran out of air.
