Free Diving with Bottlenose Dolphins

Hi friends, today is our 16th wedding Anniversary and thought it would be best to post a fun photo of my beloved one doing what she loves best, spending her days with dolphins! Aimee and I have been here in Curacao since 2004, who would have known one little phone call would have led to such an adventure??…

Underwater Blue Light Photo

Underwater Blue Light Photo

Good morning from way down South!! I have a new Blue-Light collage for you all today that we (Aimee and I) shot a few weeks ago with Stijn at a dive-site called Tugboat. This has turned out to be one of the hands down best spots in Curacao for finding cool stuff with the blue-lights.…

Invasive Lionfish in Curacao

Good morning friends, guess what?? It rained! It wasn’t a lot but it was our first good shower in ages! At 5:00 I heard rain hitting the window and jumped out of bed and raced to the front door to make sure I wasn’t dreaming, it was great!…

Sponge Face

Sponge Face

Sponge-Face - reefsGood morning friends, my find of the day is this fun sponge face that was filled with little gobies (small fish), look close and you can see them. The sponge is called a purple tube sponge Aplysina lacunosa and can grow to be many feet tall, it’s truly one of the top most decorative sponges on the reef.…

Giant Hermit Crab, Petrochirus Diogenes

Giant Hermit Crab, Petrochirus Diogenes

Good morning all, last week I found and photographed this giant hermit crab, but he was in an old beat-up shell that barely fit him. So after getting out of the water I ran into my office and grabbed some other empty shells for him and tossed them in the water next to him but they also turned out to be either to small or the same size as the one he already was in.…

Good morning all, we had a busy morning of feeding and watering the birds, walking the dogs, carrying water out to the desert to water our baby agaves and taking out paint and brushes to re-paint my bridge on the Frangipani trail, all this was done before 8:30!!…

Hi all, as I was heading out to photograph the sub I found the largest hermit crab I have ever seen in these waters, the old Queen conch shell alone that he is carrying around measures at least 10 inches across!!…

Scrawled Filefish

Scrawled Filefish

Good afternoon, I just got out of some really rough seas making the entry and exit a bit sketchy, I’m sure my mother would not approve! While searching the reef for the lionfish I came across these two beautiful Scrawled Filefish and what I believe is a male and a female.…

Sunken Ships, Wreck Diving in Curacao

Sunken Ships, Wreck Diving in Curacao

Good morning all, I have a beautiful split-level shot of a sunken tugboat from a dive-site called SABA which can only be accessed by boat. Saba is located between Sea Aquarium and Zanzibar beach, meaning if you want to do it as a shore dive you would have to carry your tank and dive gear about a mile from either direction or get a wheelbarrow and start pushing.…

Flying Gurnard

Flying Gurnard

Good morning from Curacao. We have a new resident that moved into our little sub basin last week and each time I have jumped in I have found him. This is a small Flying Gurnard, one of the most bizarre and interesting fish I have ever seen!…
