There are four videos from this dive trip, too. You can see them all on my YouTube channel. Shorter clips are going on all the social media channels, as well. It’s a good way to remember being warm on these damp, overcast 45-degree days which somehow feel much, much colder.
Look at these sponges!
And here’s the beautiful French angelfish (Pomacanthus paru).
The bright yellow is a grunt (Haemulon flavolineatum) and that black fish with the yellow fins is the (Hypoplectrus chlorurus).
And have a look at this fantasy fish, which I’m pretty sure comes to us from another dimension. I assume that because I can’t readily name it. Yep, this is some sort of newly inter-dimensional angelfish. Perhaps you know the name?
Another beautiful yellowtail specimen.
Everyone knows the baraccuda. This was one of three or four we saw on this trip.
How about a lovely Smooth trunkfish (Lactophrys triqueter)?
And look at all of this colorful growth!
Sometimes it looks random and natural and chaotic like that. Hey, it’s natural. But, sometimes, it looks like a posed aquarium.
And that’s why we go to see them. Chaotic or just-right, it is all quite beautiful.
More tomorrow!
