On the tip of the fins, snorkelling around Antiparos
Whether in open water, on rocky or sandy bottoms, on seagrass beds, the underwater life is diverse and captivating. I illustrate some of the common or surprising species encountered during snorkeling escapades along the coasts of Antiparos. Far from being exhaustive, observations are guided by my curiosity and the pleasure of identifying or understanding.
Discovering the marine world can start on a small scale, simply by observing what's happening beneath the surface. The idea behind this aquatic escapade is to arouse curiosity and, I hope, to answer some questions. So, let's go!
NB: All photos are taken while free-diving (most often between the surface and 4 meters deep and sometimes a bit deeper up to 7 or 8 meters). I do not use flash (except in very rare cases, then mentioned in the caption of the photo). I prefer to catch natural atmospheres.
In the water column, meeting fish, jellyfish and sea turtles
Hiding in crevices, overhangs on rocky bottoms or among seagrass
On sandy bottom, fish and cuttlefish
A bit everywhere on the seafloor, fish not particularly hiding
