Honorable Mention Blackwater
Kat Zhou
"Egg Release"
Kat Zhou won a 10-day dive trip aboard the Mermaid I in Bali & Komodo
from Mermaid Liveaboards!
The Story:
While I was on a blackwater dive in Lembeh, Indonesia, I noticed a bright pink worm swimming by me. Since I hadn't seen a worm of this color before, I stopped to snap a few shots. It was only after I went and looked at my photos afterwards that I realized the pink coloration was due to the worm's eggs, and it was releasing them into the water column!
