The lady's face on the left hand side is incredible as he talks! 😅

Eledone cirrhosa - Curled Octopus . First octopus of the year... though sadly not this one. The wee one on Friday night was a bit shy, but this was taken in pretty much the same place last year... so maybe this one? 🤔 . 📍Little Cumbrae - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@DahlgrenF 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chirolophis ascanii - Yarrells Blenny . Can't help but chuckle to myself when I see these wee blenny. They always look like they've had fillers put into their lips! 🤣 . 📍Loch Long - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Olympus OM-D EM-1 MKII + Olympus M.Zuiko ED 30mm f/3.5 Macro + AOI UH-EM1 III

Pargurus bernhardus – Hermit Crab . I think I often get distracted looking for "exciting" critters like squid, nudibranch, octopus, and overlook the humble crabs. But when you actually stop to appreciate them, they're really quite cool! . 📍Loch Long - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@BD_Stew 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing... (HT Tom Pickerell) #BeMoreScallop

Palaemon serratus - Common Prawn . Black & white or colour? I dont usually edit my underwater shots in bnw. But, while on "extended shore leave" waiting on baby number 2 making an appearance decided to mess around with some older photos. 😀 . 📍Loch Fyne - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Doris pseudoargus - Sea Lemon Nudibranch . 📍Fairlie Quay Marina - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Olympus OM-D EM-1 MKII + Olympus M.Zuiko ED 30mm f/3.5 Macro + AOI UH-EM1 III

Necora puber - Velvet Swimming Crab . I've got my eye on you! . 📍Fairlie Quay Marina - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Olympus OM-D EM-1 MKII + Olympus M.Zuiko ED 30mm f/3.5 Macro + AOI UH-EM1 III

Today Arran finds out our main ferry Caledonian Isles is to be out of service for another 4 months. The island economy will collapse if @FionaHyslop @CMAssets don't charter another ferry.

Sepiola atlantica - Bobtail Squid . 📍Loch Fyne - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Olympus OM-D EM-1 MKII + Olympus M.Zuiko ED 30mm f/3.5 Macro + AOI UH-EM1 III

Caryophyllia smithii - Cup Coral . These little corals are pretty unassuming and easily overlooked. But, when you look closely they're pretty incredible and very beautiful! . 📍Ballachulish - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Pennatula phosphorea - Phosphorecent Sea Pen . Just me or does it look like these sea pens are little peoples silhouettes? First is like someone puffing out their chest and the other 2 like people bowing? Maybe I'm losing it... been a long week! 📍Ballachulish - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Raja clavata- Thornback Ray . What a cracking surprise on Saturday! Spotted this wee baby ray, not once but, twice! And, it even followed us for a while on the second dive. 😍 . 📍Ballachulish - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Olympus OM-D EM-1 MKII + Olympus M.Zuiko ED 30mm f/3.5 Macro

If Sunday nights/Monday mornings were a fish it would be this guy! 😆 . Grumpy face aside... check out those eyes! 😍 . 📍Ballachulish - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Olympus OM-D EM-1 MKII + Olympus M.Zuiko ED 30mm f/3.5 Macro + AOI UH-EM1 III

Anemone . Another arty farty snooty shot from last weekend. Hopefully, one or two more this weekend before I hang up the fins for a few months! . 📍Fairlie Quay Marina - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Olympus OM-D EM-1 MKII + Olympus M.Zuiko ED 30mm f/3.5 Macro + AOI UH-EM1 III

Doris pseudoargus - Sea Lemon Nudibranch . Being fed up recently with photography I decided to properly try some snooty (😆) shots at the weekend. Work to be done, but gives me a "project"/focus for next few dives. . 📍Fairlie Quay Marina - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Goby . When you realise it's still only Wednesday and you just want to hide away from the real world until the weekend arrives! 🤣 . 📍Loch Fyne - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Olympus OM-D EM-1 MKII + Olympus M.Zuiko ED 30mm f/3.5 Macro + AOI UH-EM1

Pargurus bernhardus – Hermit Crab . 2 for 1! . 📍Loch Fyne - Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Olympus OM-D EM-1 MKII + Olympus M.Zuiko ED 30mm f/3.5 Macro + AOI UH-EM1 III
