This is a pixture from this trip… but I want to tell you a story from the past.
Today is Lydia’s birthday and the story is about her… and her extraordinary abilities as a spotter.
A number of years ago we were here in Bonaire when Lydia found one of these little guys in amongst a big soft coral.
I think it might have been the first time we ever saw one of these… because when she called me over to take a pixture, I could not for the life of me see what she was pointing at.
After our dive we looked him up in our “fish books”. When I realized how cool he was I must have said something like “I would love to get a pixture of that”.
So the next day… she took us back to the same dive site, swam us out for 15min or so to the very same soft coral, found the same fish in amongst the branches of that coral and helped me to get the pixture I wanted.
That has to be the scuba equivalent of finding the same needle in a haystack… twice! And she made it look easy.
