Good morning out there, I have another super tiny fish for you all today called a Palatogobius grandoculus or for those of us not in the science world, a goby! This was yet another tiny little thing about an inch in length covered in bright neon stripes and a wild looking neon yellow eye, this is such a cool little creature!…
Hi everyone, I have an odd fish for you today called a Brotula Barbata, found deep off the coast of St. Eustatius by the Smithsonian and Substation Curacao. I know it’s hard to tell from the photo but this fish is only around five inches in length.…
Good morning, I’m finally getting around to actual dive photos I took on my last trip to the Caribbean, here’s a little window into a dive-site called “Valley of the Sponges”. The morning we did this dive a small boat came from shore over to our ship and picked me and two other Smithsonian friends up and off we went for a three hour, two tank dive.…
Good morning out there, I have something a bit different for you all this morning, something other than a crab or fish for once. This is a super tiny, very fragile deep-sea nudibranch, one of only two we found on the whole trip to St.…
Good morning, I have another wild looking deep-sea crab for you all, found by our favorite scientists from the world famous Smithsonian Institution in Washington.

Hi friends, I have a little, two-inch-long Sphoeroides dorsalis for you all today which is super similar to the shallow water bandtail puffer that I have sent you all more than once. Unlike the bandtail, this guy is found very deep, it’s smaller and is much more colorful than it’s shallow swimming cousin.…
Good morning, I have a few underwater reef shots from a little island in the Caribbean that is currently not at the top of any “Top” dive destinations list, but maybe it should be! I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the underwater world in little o’l St.…

When I say small, I’m talking around three inches in length and NO these are not babies or juveniles they are in fact full grown adults.…
