Hahaha no nasty creature involved in this picture... What you see in front is a large tube sponge (Haliclona fascigera). I was in an overhang in the rocks. The picture is taken with an 8mm fisheye lens. The "worms" you see on the sponge are in fact a kind of sea cucumbers (synaptula).

It must be fascinating down there. I've only ever snorkelled on the Great Barrier Reef here in Australia, loved it of course. I've never scuba'd but I'd like to. Maybe a trip to the Philippines and Scuba's dive shop is on the cards.
You should give it a try. It's so amazing. And you don't need to go very deep to see amazing things. I'm thinking about setting up a community about underwater pictures so people who don't do scuba diving can enjoy as well all the beauty nature is giving us.
It's bloody cold down here! I'm in South Australia. If I was in Queensland, the tropical north of Australia I think I'd do it for sure. Sounds like a good idea for a Community too...Let me know if you set it up.
Cold is not an excuse ... Lol ... I started diving in Belgium. First years I was diving there and started with a wetsuit. Later on I changed it to a drysuit. Water temp of less than 10 degrees is cold :) Coldest dive I did in wetsuit the water was only 6C ... That same day I decided to buy a drysuit 😂
I'll consider myself officially chastised. 😂
I'd really like to dive.a mate here does it, is cave qualified. He could take me but I just don't have the ability to do everything...Have to pick and choose and save some for later...If later comes.
Yeah, I know that feeling .. so much things to do .. so less time. Let's keep the hope that one day you can see the underwaterworld 🐠
Tooooooo Close. By a factor of about 50. I'd need a telephoto lens for a fact.
