At least 1,200 species of opisthobranch have been described from the Indo-Pacific Tropics, and Anilao is one of the ultimate destinations for nudiphiles. Admittedly, the main focus of our trip was to see the wild and wooly nudis that abundantly populate the area. Kevin’s friend, Peri Paleracio, was our extraordinary guide. Peri’s bubbly personality and entertaining stories made the trip even more fun.

This photo shows Phil Garner, Peri Paleracio, and Kevin Lee, all of whom live and dive for nudis. The gesture they’re making is some kind of code, the meaning of which is known only to those in their secret society…

Here we are meeting up with another world-class nudiphile, Mike Bartick, and his guests from Crystal Blue Resort.

My small offering of nudibranchs doesn’t begin ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬to do them justice. See Kevin’s collection at diverkevin.com for the real scope.
