Apologies for the month long hiatus… I will try to get back into a routine, but as usual when these hiatuses happen – no promises. When I was in Florida recently, one of the critters getting a lot of attention at the Blue Heron Bridge…

I’ve seen Red-orange Ghost Shrimp (Corallianassa longiventris) several times, and I’ve learned that the only way to see anything more than the tips of their claws and their face is you have to tempt them out with something to eat. I managed the first shot…
On a recent dive, my buddy Laura spotted one of these Yellow-ringed Janolus (Janolus flavoanulatus) nudibranchs, and that seemed to open the flood gates and we started seeing a bunch of them. At one point I found a small area that had four of them…
Found this cool Seahare on a recent dive at the Blue Heron Bridge. I believe it is an Atlantic Black Seahare (Aplysia morio).
And while we’re bouncing back in time, let’s just bounce all the way back to 2020 and share the last few nudibranch photos from my time in Bali. I really need to plan a time to get back there, but with work denying working from…
Bouncing back to the chilly PNW waters to check out a Marbled Snailfish (Leparis dennyi) from one of my last dives there this season….
One of the things I tried to capture while diving in the Mexican cenotes was the silhouettes against the blue waters of the openings…
Manta Rays are super huge and super cool…
This wasn’t the first time I had seen Spinner Dolphins (I saw them while in Timor Leste), but this was my first time seeing dolphins in the water while on a dive. We had seen the dolphins swimming around the bay when we first arrived…
While in Playa we went on a dive to see Bull Sharks, which was another new-to-me species to see.
Just a few from the ocean dives while I was in Playa del Carmen
The first cenote we dived was called Angelita (Little Angel), and I’m sure it gets its name from the way you might feel like you’re an angel flying above the clouds. Honestly, it also felt like diving through a spooky cemetery in a dream. At…
I’m in an assortment kind of mood (ok, really I’m in a lazy mood and just tossing quick posts together with random assortments, but that’s not terrible is it?). These are all critters found while diving in the Pacific Northwest.
Just a minute of drifting along watching the sunrays filter down through the water while a large school of tube-snouts swim above the eel grass. Enjoy.
