There are many wonders of the under water world!

Here's some stuff I have seen

This is one of my favourites: A Spotted Flying Gurnard

Don't be fooled by the name — it doesn't fly, but it puts on one of the best displays in the Mediterranean.

Hees some fun facts about the Spotted Flying Gurnard

• Spreads huge, wing-like fins to startle predators
• Uses finger-like rays to “walk” along the seabed
• Feeds on small crustaceans and molluscs
• Usually shy and bottom-dwelling, found on sand and rubble
• Fun Fact: When the fins are folded, it looks completely ordinary — the colour burst is a surprise defence move.

This is a Marble Ray

Beautiful, mysterious, and seriously misunderstood.

• Can generate electric shocks up to ~200 volts
• Uses electricity to hunt and defend itself
• Often buried in sand with only eyes visible
• Completely peaceful if not stepped on or disturbed
• Fun Fact: Ancient Greeks used electric rays for pain relief — one of the earliest forms of electrotherapy.

Mediterranean Starfish

Often overlooked, but incredibly important to reef health.

• Can regrow lost arms
• Has no brain — uses a nerve ring instead
• Feeds by pushing its stomach outside its body
• Helps control mussel and barnacle populations
• Fun Fact:A starfish's “feet” work using water pressure — it's basically a living hydraulic system.

Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris)

Possibly the smartest invertebrate in the ocean.

• Can change colour, texture, and shape in seconds
• Uses tools like shells and rocks
• Each arm has its own mini nervous system
• Lives in dens and is highly territorial
• Fun Fact

Spider Crab (Maja squinado)

One of the true giants of the Med, and a master of disguise.

• Can grow over 1 metre across including legs
• Can grow over 1 metre across including legs
• Mostly nocturnal and slow-moving
• Plays an important role cleaning the seabed
• Fun Fact:Young spider crabs deliberately decorate themselves — it's not accidental, it's strategy.

And here is me and the man that made it possible for me to see these sea creatures.

Thank you for everything you do for me I am forever grateful

Thank you!
