Silly grin

This is actually from last year (LCA in Tasmania), but Oscar, who took the picture, was diving around the world for many months and only made the pictures he took available to me the other day. I thought I had a good life, but Oscar and Annemarie clearly has this whole life thing figured out.

Those weedy sea-dragons are pretty cool. And they weren't the only cool thing there, if you get my meaning. Brrr. I prefer warm water diving.

Those sea dragons were featured on one of the most recent BBC "Life" programs. Apparently it's one of the only species where the male animal carried the eggs around until they hatched. Interesting show. :)

Maybe you can dive in Bunaken, Indonesia. It has very warm water there :D

Sorry for a personal comment but I can't help it! - You may dive in Sipoo and you may dive in Inkoo but have you ever had a thought about a permanent life in Tasmania. It is a good way of life.
