Worms

[Jan K]

Still out of commission due to dental problems - the tooth was finally extracted after three attempts to clean up the root canals - so here are some creatures representing my present mood, found on dives in the past ](*,)

Awesome and creative, as always ... best of luck with the tooth, and hope you're able to return to the water soon ...

Wow! What can I say? Great stuff Jan!

Worms are one of the few critters that still kind of creep me out... expecially the fast, free swimming variety!

So you're feeling wormy, eh?

Well Jan, yet another thing we can both relate to - getting the tooth finally pulled after going through trouble with it. Been there done that - it helped greatly. However your tongue just can't seem to stay away from that area!! (the hole does fill in eventually)

Seeing these worms is really fascinating! I had so much trouble finding anything about them in ID books - eventually finding a few guidebooks with better photos and info than others - but it's great to see some photos from other divers.

Best Fishes to your now-absent tooth and you!

Jan- love the pics, as always! I'm very happy you've been posting them here! Sorry to hear your dental woes are keeping you out of the water.

Great compilations Jan. Speaking of worms, I swear I saw about a 3 ft worm that was patterned like a coral snake with alternating colors of white and red. At first I thought it was an old line, but then I saw that it was burrowing into the sea floor. Good stuff!
