I found a very strange creature in Pennykamp today
 
I dove Molasses reef today and came across something I've never seen before. Anyone know what this is?

wow thats bad ***. you think he will fit in my 120?

streetjudge79 02/04/2011 10:18 PM

It's amazing right? I've never seen anything like it. It kept changing color. I googled cuttlefish and squid and came up with nothing. I'm totally stumped. The dive master on board has never seen one before either

Damn! thats crazy! and I have no clue to what it could be I had never seen anything like it

Wow, been a long time since anyone's stumped me! Just goes to show you, no matter what kind of weird stuff you've seen in the ocean, there's something stranger! I mean, take that last picture... the octo's neat and all, but what the Heck is that thing behind it!!!

streetjudge79 02/05/2011 03:51 PM

That's not me.. .lol. That was our guide , Jesus.

Ludwigia73 02/05/2011 04:58 PM

Well, if you're going to have a guide, that'd be the ultimate one! LOL

I've been diving S FL, Keys and Bahamas for 35 years and have never seen that, let alone even heard of it. Very cool!
