11 Sharks You Should Know About This Summer- by Wandy Hochgrebe added 2010-10-06

Seaslugs - Part I. Headshield slugs and Sea hares.- by Ákos Lumnitzer added 2004-11-24
- I have compiled a sequential account of the five main seaslug orders, supported by photographic records and some likely Sydney dive sites to encounter members of each order.
Seaslugs - Part II. Sidegill slugs and Sap-sucking slugs- by Ákos Lumnitzer added 2004-11-23
- In this article I will introduce you to the next two in hierarchical sequence. Seaslugs are indeed fascinating creatures and are a favorite for many photographers. They do not move about very quickly at all, which is a characteristic that makes them easy subjects to shoot. Often it is not the case of 'the one that got away', but the case of 'Oh no! I have run out of film again!'.
Seaslugs - Part III. Nudibranchs- by Ákos Lumnitzer added 2004-11-23
- I wish I had a pound for every time I heard a diver say: 'Did you see the beautiful nudibranch down there?' - not knowing, that the creature was only another opistobranch and not a true nudie?
