Definitely a favourite. I used to run dive charter tours on the east coast of Australia and despite being circled by fabulous (and harmless) Grey Nurse Sharks I couldn’t resist looking for sea hares whenever possible.

The Manatee is really nice as well, they are know as sea cows. I think it makes sense from your pic!
