Seahorse fest anyone?

[allisonfinch]

Let's have some fun. Everyone post some of their seahorse pictures. Here's one of mine;

This guy was found in Lembeh at 98 feet. By the time I found him, I had seconds before deco. Oh well....what's a deco stop between friends.

Allison, try nitrox!

But great photo! Now, if only I had some seahorse shots......

Any more seahorse photos from other members here?

[allisonfinch]

Since when does the magic gas nitrox keep you from having to do deco when you overstay your welcome at depth?


Hmm...while I'm here, I'll post another seahorse or two.

Hows this one?


Only digitized image ive got and its a close cousin.

Nice!! Like the big eyeball.

So, what is it? Seadragon? Pipefish? Inquiring minds want to know.....

Weedy Seadragon at half life size. 70mm from side to side on that shot.

Nice!!

I've always wanted to see one of those but it requires something I don't have...a tolerance for COLD water.....BRRRRRR!!!! (see, blue)

Ok...I have seahorse envy. I live in the COLD water where the seahorses are just like you Allison...they don't like cold water.

I think I need some tropical time....

Ok what do we call cold? Mine was taken in about 19 degree water (no i dont know how much that is in F cant even spell it) and although they arent as glamourous as their spotty cousins we get a few common ones in Sydney. Temp goes from about 22-24 down to about 13-14C.

Oh, but Cindy, you and I have a cold water cousin here ... the bay pipefish is related to the sea horse. I took this picture down at our local mudhole ... Redondo ...



Here's one from my last trip to Bonaire ...
