Pier Diving

Silhouette of scuba diver under pier. Homo sapiens. Caracas Baai, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. Unaltered/Uncontrolled N/AToday I have a little window into a very crazy, very spooky world that few divers get to experience, mainly because it’s overlooked or one needs to be an advanced diver to play here. Diving under these massive piers is nothing less than a pure adrenaline rush!…

Scorpionfish

Shadowing Trumpetfish

Shadowing Trumpetfish

Good morning from Curacao! Here is a picture of a trumpetfish “Shadowing” or “Shadow Hunting”. This is a unique hunting technique that usually involves a trumpetfish (the long fish) slowly swimming behind or on top of a large herbivorous fish, using the larger fish as camouflage, then coiling its body into an s-shape and rapidly lunging at prey when an opportune moment to strike presents itself.…
