the almost luminous like colour is nice ... taken by c5050? sorry, OT a bit ...

anyway, it might help if you give more specific descriptions of the actual size etc .... time and place of dive may help? some creatures only appear at certain timings right?

[waisj]

Sigh.. all i remember is that it is a day dive. Couldn't even remember the size. just remembered that it has a nice "ring of fire" took a shot and left...


was low on air at that time.

[beivied]

hahaha, seen enough of your photos to know! keke.. and the green thingie that it is on, trust me, i cant really tell what it is, but it cant be some big thick leafy uw vegetation... it tells the size of the unknown creature..

[waisj]

you are right. it is macro. thus cant be a sea snake furthermore it has mantle like "feet"
