Description: Black Water Diving Grand Cayman. We see many Male Paper Nautilus. However, females are rare to encounter. This female Argonaut, was about the size of a quarter coin, may be a bit bigger and you can easily see her shell. I could see her looking directly at me. She was riding a Pelagic Tunicate Salp of about a meter long. In about 60 feet / 18 meters of depth, over 250 meters of water.
