Sea Spider

December 5, 2009   

This is a picture of the Sea Spider I brought up on my last dive in the Aquarium in the Bonner Lab. He was quite hard to bring up and is the biggest the marine biologists have seen in the year they have been here. It was quite hard to surface from 20m while holding onto a spider in one hand and a seal prod in the other but I managed to do it without damaging him so was very happy.
