Oh, What a Big Bird... Wait What?

So I was taking pictures of the black coral at 100 ft….then suddenly three divers swam into my frame. For a moment I thought, “Wow, those are some big birds…” lol

This is What We Go There to See

Clear blue water, large sea fan, colorful sponges, tunicates, sea anemone, and multitudes of reef fish. This is what we go to the Coral Triangle to see.

Freedom!!

Freeeeeeeee!!! So much fun to race across the vast ocean with endless horzion

Show the Love!

Anyone know what this bird is? It looked like an immature seabird of some kind, but I have no idea what. We were at Gunung api, a small volcanic island in the middle of the Banda Sea, when this little bird flew onto the deck of our boat. Do you see the tattoo on the hand of one of our divers? This bird knew where to find the love!

Water Texture

Since it has been raining here in Southern California, I thought I’d post this picture from our Forgotten Islands trip. Watching the rain hit the surface of the water from below is very interesting. Such interesting texture.
