In diving I have noticed that some places just have more interesting stuff to see. Sure There are a lot of places that have quite a bit of critter diversity. But I have seen very few places that have the bio diversity that exist in Anilao in the Philippines. Granted most of the critters are not much bigger than a U.S. quarter, but there sure a lot of differences that exist.

The critters run the gamut from nudibranchs to crabs, to shrimp to fish and of course there are a variety of octopi.

Some of the critters remind me of something you might find from outer space.

Others are almost comical in how they adorn themselves with various bits and bobs.

And you can also find the occasional blue ring octopus in a clam shell.
