My second day of diving, let’s see what I can take photos of today, to begin some colourful soft coral<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And here, hidden in plain sight, is a Scorpionfish<\/a>, they are true masters of camouflage and for the non-divers: you do not<\/strong> want to touch them!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We’re at the King Cruiser wreck, this soft coral grows on the wreck, lots of fish here too<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Nasty jellyfish, brrr, I hate them<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A beautiful Lionfish<\/a>, again for the non-divers: you don’t want to touch this fish!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A happy looking Moray Eel<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Coral, no idea what kind, fan coral?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Same, no idea<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

But definitely lovely colours<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

These remind me of Julia sets<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

My dive buddy today, we are doing our 3 minutes at 5 meters safety stop here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

2nd dive, I think this is another Puffer between some fan corals<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And a cute baby one<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Another Lionfish, lying almost vertically against the coral<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

No idea what this is but it looks cool<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Some Long Snout Butterfly Fish<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I get the Long Snout part, just not the Butterfly part<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Is this a Snapper?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Anemone and what I assume has to be a Clownfish (since it lives in the Anemone), just not the usual orange\/white variety<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

So many crazy things under water<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A shrimp!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Nudibranch<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Seahorse<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And this kind of blistery looking stuff, WTF is that?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Some turban made out of custard is what it looks like to me<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Another Scorpionfish<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Another Moray Eel<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

My dive buddy again, he reminds me of Hugo<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

End of yet another dive<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Koh Doc Mai<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

My dive buddy again, staying well hydrated, important!<\/p><\/div>\n
