Hello, State Fish!

Say hello to garibaldi, the state marine fish of California. We had great visibility at Cortes Bank, and the bright orange color of these fish was stunning against the clear blue of the water.

Cortes!!

After trying for years, we finally made it out to the Cortes Bank! We had such nice conditions - water was warm and calm, and the visibility was great. Thank you @horizoncharters for such a wonderful dive trip!

Traffic Jam in French Polynesia

We were happily swimming along, and then all of a sudden found ourselves in the middle of a traffic jam… of fish!

Swirly!

A fish whirlpool... or is it a fish roundabout? It was breathtaking to look up and see all these fish swirling above me.

Sea of Colors

Sea of colors! Crescent tail bigeye fish (Priacanthus hamrur) can change their body color from red, reddish brown, to silvery pink. Looks like these guys decided red was their color.
