Splash of Gold
Bluestripe snapper (Lutjanus kasmira) is a common reef fish in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. While it is a fairly common sight, I still love to watch a large school of these brightly colored fish cruising around a coral reef.
Endless Blue
Thinking back on the beautiful dive at Forgotten Islands. Endless coral reef and curtain of silversides in the shimmering morning sunlight... I can’t wait to go back.
Underwater Giant
As the name suggests, giant clam (Tridacna gigas) is the world’s largest mollusk. They can grow to be over 4 feet long and weigh more than 500 pounds! I don’t know how much this clam weighs, but this is the biggest one I have seen.
Nudi Glam Shot
This amazing shot of Hypselodoris apolegma was taken by Jose A. Castellano at Forgotten Islands, Indonesia. These beautiful purple nudibranchs are found in the tropical waters of the Western Pacific Ocean.
Spying on Fish at Cortes Bank
One more picture from the Cortes Bank trip. It was simply amazing to dive the pristine reef populated by so many fish. Only a small number of divers get to enjoy sights like this.
