Beautiful.
2 weeks ago, I made the collage of still photos that didn’t make the cut for actual use or posts, from my March 6, 2024 Aliens dive folder. Had a spare few minutes last night to finally get to the video clips shot from the same dive. Hundreds of folders still to go🤣

Sharks help.
Today is shark awareness day so let’s talk why sharks are important. The term apex predator is used a lot when talking about sharks, but most sharks are not apex predators. Few species are true apex predators but all of them play a vital role in the food web. Sharks help

Very interesting.
The leaf sheep is one of few animals that can perform photosynthesis! 🐑🌿. This little sea slug sucks up chloroplasts from algae in a process called kleptoplasty. This provides nutrition as well as giving the leaf sheep its green color.💚☀️. Learn more:

Good idea.
I found a drift net on the beach. As disposing of waste in Maldives is not as easy, I thought about recycling at least parts of the net. Thanks to the 'How to make ghostnet bracelets' by @ORP_INDIANOCEAN I learned how to make bracelets. Do you like it?.#reuse #reduce #recycling

Fabulous.
Love the way this type of #cuskeel larvae sometimes curls its little tail over its face - so freakin cute! 🥰 This guy is ~1.5 cm, and while I can’t be sure, it could be #Monomitopus agassizii. #deepseafish #fishlarvae #blackwater #chrisgug #gugunderwater #gug #underwater

Scuba divers are uniquely positioned to be the ocean's early warning system - and its first responders.
