The skipper of s/v Shuang Yu, Ted, joined me on the first day of two dives. During the first dive, we went to the northwest side of the island and had a very pleasant dive along the cliff walls of the island. We saw the usual variety of coral and fish, a couple of sightings of trevally and a turtle or two. But, the main attraction to this dive were the nudibranch. Nudibranch are soft mollusk sometimes of very unique colors and truly look alien when viewed up close. I’ve only rarely seen them in my other dives. But, on this dive we saw lots of them! And some were much larger than I’ve usually seen. Here’s a photo album of the different ones we saw – and a really cool red anemone as well:
UPDATE: I realized I never posted the second album of underwater diving at Tenngul. This album has mostly shots of the nudibranch creatures we spotted:
Very good photos…
