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.”
Dreaming...
New Year, new dive trip planning. We will be heading back to the Coral Triangle in 2020 and 2021. I’m already dreaming of the colorful coral reef teeming with life.
