The two-spot goby is a tiny fish - only growing up to 6cm. These gobies swim, unlike other gobies that sit on the bottom. Have you seen any on your dives? https://t.co/LiZHyuikwG

This flounder is hiding in plain sight. Have you seen any flat fish on your dives? https://t.co/vKCGEi4Cxe

Jean has been hard at work as our service tech in the sun, fixing the last few of our drysuits before we start diving again!

Pod Weed is a bushy brown seaweed. It has thin gas bladders that look like seed pods. https://t.co/jGMotapbT7

This is the egg case of a nursehound. It looks similar to the egg case of the small spotted catshark but is larger and has thicker walls around the case. https://t.co/Ci3coH8H9C

Green seaweeds are found in very shallow water and this sea lettuce isn’t an exception. Like all plants seaweed needs light to photosynthesise. Green seaweeds require the most light, brown seaweeds need less light… https://t.co/rgnoQABcAI

Mermaid’s Tresses - this slim, whip-like seaweed is common in shallow water and can be up to 6m long. The fine hairs you can see in the photo are present in the summer. Have you swam through this whilst on a shore… https://t.co/9eJQT0sOsn

These are horse mackerel. We were surrounded by them on our safety stop after a shore dive. We could have stayed watching them for hours. Have you ever been surrounded by fish on a dive? https://t.co/obWX43bkJ1

[Duttons divers @DuttonsDivers]

It’s not just our picturesque quarry Vivian that we have, we are also surrounded by other stunning views. https://t.co/GAsFDQXVyz

The sea mouse is a large worm with bristles that usually burrows in sand and gravel. Have you seen a sea mouse on any of your dives? https://t.co/kioHaZWTe0

The white-striped anemone has two different colour forms - all white and white tentacles and a yellow disk (making it look like a fried egg). There are other anemones that it can be mistaken for - you need to look… https://t.co/eY2pAiWsd8

The gurnard is a bottom- dwelling fish with bony plated heads and a steep profile. I love the way that they look as though they are flying when their pectoral fins are spread out. https://t.co/Tv4Q311xNr
