Protect Our Reefs
The rare and one-of-a-kind Californian Purple Coral is found in 20 to 50 meters-deep (65 to 160 feet) of water on outer island pinnacles in strong currents. They take hundreds of years to grow to this size. Sadly, every time a boat drops anchor these precious organisms are damaged and destroyed. So because of the need to preserve marine life, Ocean safari Dive team is currently developing a "mooring buoy project" to minimize the impact that traditional anchors have on reefs. I hope that those who agree with this action can offer their support. If interested feel free to contact.
Colonies of Hump Corals
There are amazingly healthy colonies of stony corals, such as Porites compressa (finger coral, hump coral), in the Coral Triangle. It is a common coral species in the Indo-Pacific region, and often form massive colonies like this.
Cocktail Hour
A little break from the cold water dive pictures with a nice cocktail watching the sunset.
Back to Silfra!
We dived Silfra on two consecutive days. The second time, there were fewer of us because the others went to the Blue Lagoon. The hard core Ocean Safari divers braved the wind and the frigid temperature to enjoy the breathtaking beauty one more time.
I’m Cold! Gotta Run!!
A 440-yard sprint after an icy cold dive in Iceland! Got to make it back to the car before everything freezes. Never breathe on the surface without your snorkel!
