And a short note, too:
Making a video clip of this sea hare wasn't easy. This was again because of Chai's Underwater Photography Rule no. 1: Don't touch them! and Rule no. 2: Keep a distance. That way, it is less likely that I would harm them, and they me.
But this guy kept swimming into my face. So, half of the time, I had to keep avoiding him & her (considering sea hares are hermaphrodites). But when it swam away, I had to follow it carefully so that I won't lose sight of it. And to make things worse, my snorkeling mask kept leaking!

Amazing! A very good one indeed.
Fantastic - Chai Cousteau.
They look a lot better swimming than they do washed up on the beach :-)
Thanks Mick.
Thanks Alan.
It was just a chance encounter. I never saw any of them again. Except the ones washed ashore :(
But it's experience like this one that keeps me hitting the water again and again.
Awesome..
Underwater birds! Really well filmed and you're getting the credits in order now ;)
Yeah. It just looked like it was flying, flapping its wings.

Just can't wait for my trip to the Ningaloo Reef 2nd of August! I should see more marine life there.
wow that was nice...I tried to approach fishes before but I was afraid to touch them under water or even get near them
Dear "celebrating 2008 christmas",
Some fishes are more afraid of us than we them. Anyway, hope you will get to meet up with some really friendly fishes one day! :)
Chai
