We made the hardest decision of our retired lives and decided that after an airline cancellation NOT come to Zihua this year after spending three full winters and dozens of Christmas vacations before that.

To keep my head in the game I have been viewing and editing Zihuatanejo Free Shore Snorkeling photos and videos.


I've finished two NEW videos recently to share.

The main character subjects are VERY small and VERY VERY small and so it is unlikely you will see them while snorkeling.

The first video is about the Barcheek Blenny or Coralliozetus boehlkei

The juveniles (as above) are semi transparent and so even harder to find.


The second subject is a cool little pink creature, Pink Telja Nudibranch or Flabellina telja.

[image]

The nudibranch was seen straight off Restaurante El Viejo where the La Ropa road becomes the Las Gatas path but out past the projection/protection from boats of the stone jetty in about 8 feet of depth. The Barcheeks were also seen near that easy access area and at a second site along the shore about halfway to Las Gatas. I found the Nudi with incredible luck at that depth while searching for the, Pacific Seahorse, Hippocampus ingens, that I had also seen very near that spot.

My pleasure! Some day (in the next 10 years) I may get an underwater camera. Then I'll have to remember to bring it with me and use it! HA! But, it'll never get to the level of your pics or videos!

I can't thank you enough for sharing your amazing photos and videos along with your incredible knowledge of what you film. You'll be happy to know the bay water today is the clearest we've seen it in decades. The bottom of the bay is visible from the end of the pier, as it used to be long ago before the construction of the espigón at Puerto Mío. Hopefully your videos and photos will help inspire others to appreciate, explore and help us to care for and protect our beautiful bay. Saludos y gracias.

Thanks Rob and everyone. I'm so glad to hear about clearer water too. Fantastic news. With spare time I will crank out a few more videos from the huge volume I have stored and that I view every day.
