Schooling Tropical Fish
Heniochus acuminatus, commonly called pennant coralfish or longfin bannerfish, looks very similar to schooling bannerfish (Heniochus diphreutes) and Moorish idol (Zanclus cornutus). This image was taken in the Banda Sea, Indonesia.
Thimble Jellies
This aggregation of thimble jellyfish (Linuche unguiculata) was spotted during our dive in the Banda Sea, Indonesia. They look cute, but you'd better be careful when you are around them. An accidental contact with these jellyfish causes very itchy rash that appears hours after exposure.
Hello, Up There!
A diver aboard the Spirit of Solomons waving hello to me through the water. The world looks especially beautiful when you are looking through such clear water!
During a Safety Stop
Yes! A perfect bubble ring!! This is what I love to do during a safety stop. It’s especially nice when the water is so clear that you can see the boat through the water.
A Thrill Ride
After the exciting dives in Galapagos, we ventured out to the Northeast Andes in Ecuador. Sitting in the rooftop of a train and going through a tunnel… It is so risky and scary. You can easily have your head chopped off if you don’t duck down. You will never see this in the States…
