For the whole of my diving career I’ve been in love with a little animal called the nudibranch. They are a member of the Nudibranchia, a group of soft-bodied, marine gastropod mollusks without a shell in their adult stage. In short, their “lungs” are on the outside. Suddenly the name makes sense, right? They come in an incredible variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. I never get tired of seeing them! Our dive guides must think I’m crazy, but there are so many in this part of the world, and I want to see them all. Here are some photos so you can share in my excitement.
