Belize 2024 - Turneffe Island - Scuba Diving 3

The third and last instalment of photos from scuba diving at Turneffe Island feature "other things of interest." 

First, lettuce sea slugs. Doesn't really sound all that interesting, right? Andrew and I challenged ourselves to try to spot them before the dive master but it was a futile effort. Can you pick it out in this first photo?  Hint: it's right in the middle.

And last but not least . . . Squid! This is Andrew's photo as I was further away and took a bit of video but no photos. This is the first time we have seen squid while diving so it was a special surprise.
