Weedy Sea Dragon

by mat willis

Weedy Sea Dragon taken under the boat morings next to Portsea Pier.

Taken in about .5m of water at Linley Point, Mornington Victoria. The last three times I have dived this area I have found this dragonet hiding under the same rock I use to climb out of the water. Just goes to show how we can swim over some fascinating creatures in our quest to get to that so called "better spot".
