Butterflies Under the Sea
Mirror butterflyfish (Chaetodon speculum) is found in coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific region. These fish are usually seen solitary or in pairs. They are relatively uncommon so it is a special treat to see them.
Save California's Purple Hydrocoral
In the past week, Ocean Safari leaders, under the management of Dan Stephens, have collected over 8,000 petition signatures in support for the installation of permanent mooring buoys at Farnsworth Bank, Catalina Is. The technology will save the precious California Purple Hydrocoral. To date, Florida has over 750 of them protecting their reefs, while California has none. Being so far behind, we thought it was time for a change. Beginning here in the Ocean Safari diving community of Los Angeles, we set a new standard of environmental consciousness for the future and for our children. Sign to show your support now!
Tropical Sun-Burst
This is a small school, but sometimes you see large schools of longfin spadefish in the Indo-Pacific region such as the Spice Islands.
Fishy Highway
So many triggerfish gathering and swimming in unison. It’s almost as if there is an invisible tunnel or highway just beyond the reef. The concentration of life around the reef in Spice Islands is simply amazing.
Amazing colors of Coiba
The unique colors of the reef in Coiba, Panama. Every inch of the reef was covered with life – soft coral, sea squirts, sea anemone, etc. It was so much fun to dive among such luscious and colorful reef.
