Comment from the photographer: I thought this to be of the Genus: Diversidoris. I could not figure out the species. These nudibranch were about 10 centimeters; the picture was taken at between 10 and 15 meters deep. On August 20, 2012 a Simon Richer submitted a picture from Fujairah, United Arab Emirates - this nudibranch looks very similar to the one I am posting here.
