We adopted a new void friend yesterday. Deco is 6 months old and ready for Halloween!

Wait. This is what the juveniles look like?? I see these guys all season long in NJ! 🦑🪼

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social from the FB Tropical Strays group, can you help? 🦑🐙

Night dive with the locals in NJ We fought the current on the way out to have an easy ride back to the entrance/exit point. 73F, 60min dive 🤿🐙🦑🦀

Some fantastic conditions last weekend diving offshore in NJ. Easily 40 ft visibility, 72F at the top, 52 at 120ft. The jellyfish deco gauntlet on the way back up felt like a level from Mario Bros-i could've done with one of the invincible stars 🐙🦑🦀🐟🐠🤿

Trash toys are the best toys! Blinky likes milk carton pull tabs. I probably have a dozen of them stashed away

Looks like a seahorse, but it’s not. It evolved the same body plan independently! journaloflostspecies.org/index.php/jl...

New research just dropped today that makes octopuses even weirder than they already are… let me explain🧵🧪🐙🐡🦑

A crab on the move from our Monday night shore dive in NJ. Big boy was on the move 🦀🤿🦑🐙

A horseshoe crab from last night's shore dive in NJ. Ive never noticed how red the feets of a horseshoe crab can be! 72°F, 20+ft of viz, 55min dive 🐙🦑🐟🐠🤿🦀

It took social media by storm, but it didn’t work for all the reasons that ocean plastic pollution experts said it wouldn’t work all along. My latest for The Revelator tells this important story and asks what we can learn from it. Please enjoy. therevelator.org/why-ocean-cl...

So grateful for the opportunity to dive the wrecks of Chuuk, Lagoon last week. 🦑🤿🐟🐠🐙

Some fishy bait ball soup from the wreck of the Spar off Morehead City in NC last weekend 🦑🐙🐟🐠🤿

Drove to NC over the weekend to get some warmup dives in as the season kicks off. This is from the wreck of the Aeolus in 110ft of water. On the breather, the fish just seem to ignore me! It's really incredible 🦈🤿🦑

Saw this guy from the parking lot. He was upside down and I was afraid he was dead but i went to flip him anyway Picked him up and he moved! Even better, he has a tag! Horseshoe crabs might look dangerous but they're completely harmless with no way to hurt you even if they wanted to 🦑🐙🦀

Cave diving can be incredible but even the most experienced tech divers I know have a healthy respect for the skills it takes to do it and come home alive.

One of my favorite new to me fishes! I love their smokey black eyeliner and their stripey baby outfits

Something isn't right here

BBQ chicken leg from a huge smoker outside the St Pete Times rink before a Bolts game. Honorable mentions: full size NJD plastic helmet full of popcorn, smoked meat poutine at The Bell Centre

I don't know why but images from space like this always leave me in tears. It also doesn't fail to leave me utterly go smacked that this is being live streamed. #artemisII

Hey Blinky! You're so fine! You're so fine you blow my mind! Hey Blinky!

I think I need a fact check on the not so fun fact

Biblically accurate angel

This is one of the reasons I tell my dentist all about my diving and dive trips 😱

Aliens are here and they live in the ocean. It has been too long since my last blackwater dive!

Gull just doing gull things at the ferry terminal this morning. Going on the reactions from the staff, he is a regular

Seascapes from Salt Pier, Bonaire 🦑🪸🤿🐟

Critters big and small from Bonaire. I have no idea what the bright ruddy orange guy is- I just thought he was cute 🦑🐙🐟🤿

Some enchanting garden eels in 115 ft of water, Bonaire 🐙🪸🦑🤿🐟

I wish I could reread this book for the first time. Excited!

I've said it before and I'll say it again- football has the best names

If this is from the Spiegel Grove, I think I met this grouper back in Dec during CCR Mod certification 🦑🤿🐟

And here I am with only a mini panther to pet

@greenleejw.bsky.social I got excited about your @ name but then read your description about being a surprised historian, not a surprised eel. Every time I see an eel, I hear them say "Surprise!" and for a moment thought I was no longer alone 😭

I don't know who needs to hear this: Walmart has giant plushie marine life that you can just buy. I left without the spotted eagle ray but I might need to go back for him this week. In the meantime, meet Sledge the hammerhead shark 🦑🐙🦈

You mean I *CAN* pet them???

Some of the tiny creatures we saw in the Banda Sea- I love being able to pick a spot, stop, and see so much life around me. 🐙🦑🤿🐟🪸

More from Ambon, a ribbon eel, a pair of sea slugs, a super sneaky stonefish and a lionfish 🦑🐙🤿🐟

The Banda Sea brought the goods on the very first dive! Flamboyant and reef cuttlefish and morays in new(to me) colors. Wow. 🦑🐙🤿

We have been spoiled with amazing offshore dives this year. Warm water even at depth with great visibility! 🦑🤿🐟

I adore these conger eels( or American eels? There's been debate!) They're so googly-eyed and the wreck we dove was full of them! 🐟🤿🦑
