Hear the Ocean Calling...

The ocean is calling to me. It’s time to go diving! I want to be underwater, quietly swimming with the fish.

Field of What?

Have you seen a field of pyrosomes while diving? We did on our dive at Catalina Island. Pyrosomes are colonial organisms, which means each one we see as one organism is actually made up of millions of smaller organisms. They are bioluminescent at night and in the day time have iridescent pink coloration. They float freely through the water column filtering microscopic plant cells out of the water to feed themselves.

These are Our Humans...

One more picture from our Christmas camping trip.

OSDT team: Alright, make funny face for this shot!

Dogs: what are our humans doing?

Beautiful Table

Look at this huge table coral. We saw some beautiful and massive colonies of coral in the Coral Triangle.

Curtain of Fish

The Coral Triangle is not only about the coral reef. The area is also teeming with fish. In some areas, you see layers of “fish curtains.”
