There is an island near Magadan, called the Misunderstanding Island. And because the hydrographic expedition of this island from the sea considered as a peninsula, and so sketched on the map. And the truth, the distance between the coast and the island is only 3 km, this misunderstanding was discovered later, when we looked from the shore to the alleged peninsula. Previously, there was a fishery and a settlement Rybachy. Until now, there is a single citizen who has an island registration, although the settlement itself and the plant itself have long been grown.
By itself, the island is an interesting and picturesque place, from the air it even looks like a cat. While I was on land, I considered the island interesting, and after I dived near its shores, the island became special. Under the water there is a wonderful garden, inhabited by very bizarre animals, I never met such a garden anywhere, although I have already covered many places. The underwater garden has sunk into the soul, I wanted to tell about this place, and it's even better to show it! Such an opportunity I had thanks to the assistance of a friend and a brother by flippers - 
For the first time, I managed to remove something unintelligible here with a strong turbidity. It was my first immersion with a camera. I found an old anchor there.
But most of all interested in strange flowers that densely populated this rocky bottom, overgrown with strange lilac algae, among which grazed green sea hedgehogs. In a strong turbidity, I did not make much effort, and besides the water was +16 degrees, which is too hot for my 9-mm suit. I literally almost got a heat stroke. But on another occasion I managed to shoot a bit and the water in October had cooled to a pleasant 7 degrees.
These are the actinia of the metridium, they reach us 70-120 cm long, and the diameter of the tentacles is about 30 cm. Here, on the underwater spit, they created a dense colony.
They are beetles, they are predators. They feed on any small fry, but they do not disdain and jellyfish, they will devour and will not frown.
Sometimes there are separately lying stones, under which there are mink, in which it is better not to put hands on. In such places the catfish likes to settle, which has such strong jaws that it is called a fish-dog, and foreigners call it a wolf fish. It feeds on ophiuroids, sea urchins, fish, mussels, trumpeter, crabs. She simply grinds shells and shells with her powerful jaws. Very tasty fish, but I have photos only with the already extracted wolffishes and one taken elsewhere, well, and since I'm narrating about a specific place, I will not be deceived. Landscapes on Zavyalov and Misunderstandings differ radically. The blue starfish is a mesh netherworld, there is also a variety of red color.
Actinia are very similar to flowers or strange palms, this is if you look at them lying on the bottom. If you consider any small population of this forest, then there are plenty of shrimp, crabs, nudibranchs, mussels, sea stars and all kinds of fish. Animals very much.
Here, for example, shellfish shells. This comrades were already 450 million years ago.
Or, the nudibranch mollusc Cadlina laevis, the only southern representative of its species, living in the Arctic and northern seas.
Japanese caviar is very much appreciated sea urchin, I even understand why. It is very useful for blood and cancer, and also for men act so that the wives remain very satisfied.
Still, metridiums occur orange-pink or white, look aliens.
In the lagoon, near the shore, the sea grass of the Zoster grows in places, in which there are so many living creatures that you can crawl there for hours. Near these thickets I met a hunting jellyfish with cyane hairy. She is beautiful though beautiful, but burning, kissing with her is contraindicated.
In general I pestered her with my photo session and in every possible way distracted me from hunting. Yes, and there was something to stick to!
The sun was already approaching the sunset and a beautiful halo shone around him. Oh, and I'm worn out to shoot a shot in half a block of water. But it was not in vain fought, this picture now hangs on Primordial Russia and Magadan beauty glorifies.
All underwater images are taken off at a delay in breathing.
