We were again in Cozumel.... staying and diving with Scuba Club.
Since I started the Best of Mike series.... I am always a little conflicted about what to do with pixtures from the most recent trip.
It has become my habit to pick few of the very best to insert into the Blog.... and then return to the regularly scheduled program.
So here we go with this year's pics.
There is absolutely nothing underwater that Linda wants to see more than Seahorses.
Until this trip, she had a lifetime total of one.... and felt like she was missing out.
In just two days we tripled her lifetime total.... and made Linda a very happy girl.
This is the Lined Seahorse that Pepe, our Divemaster, found for us on Linda's 429th dive (which also happened to be #700 for me).
Lined Seahorses vary in color from reddish orange, to brown to black.... and their markings vary too. But the markings that they do have a definitely line like and definitely not spots.
Normally, they curl the base of their tail around branches of coral, sea grasses and other holdfasts.... but will occasionally be seen floating free.
When approached by divers they will very rarely move but will tuck their heads and turn away.... that shyness and their small size can make them a little bit of a challenge to photograph.
