It was the first dive of the journey, so I had some technical difficulties* 😄 ## Notes Protected species because it has been overfished. We can find it on overhangs and cave roofs. ## References - https://doris.ffessm.fr/Especes/Scyllarides-latus-Grande-cigale-de-mer-467 - [Découvrir la vie sous-marine - Méditerranée - Steven Weinberg](Découvrir%20la%20vie%20sous-marine%20-%20Méditerranée%20-%20Steven%20Weinberg.md) p347-348
