I visited the North Island of New Zealand in Febuary 2009 and was lucky enough to get out for a dive to the Poor Knights Islands. Famous for its good sport fishing and even better scuba diving ever since they declared this area a marine park. My dive buddy was good enought to point out this pair of adorable nudibranchs to me and I thought their colours were so enticing. I think they were getting ready to mate, but you cant be sure. Located in about 12-15 meters of water. Diving was done with Yukon Charters, Tutukaka.
