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. 🐙🦑🤿🐟🪸

It was so much fun to meet sea creatures like sea snakes/kraits who don't live in the Atlantic/Caribbean, different types of hard and soft corals that are thriving despite VERY warm water temps and to see familiar fish shapes in new flavors and color patterns. 🐙🦑🤿🐟

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! 🐟🤿🦑

Cheesin for the camera 🦈

Cross post from my professional life, because I like the story: Sometime in 2008 or so, I was doing work at a NASA data center at the Langley Air Force Base in Hampton Roads, Virginia. While there, I met a person who remains one of my all-time consulting heros and idols. 1/?

Within the last year: Dropped a tank on my pinky and fractured it Within the last week: in PT for my back and strained a tendon in my elbow Yesterday: using a lighter to seal the end of Paracord and burned my hand with molten plastic

A few more from Saturday in NJ. This was one of the larger hermit crabs, there were some super macro ones that wouldnt stay still enough to grab focus!

Nice to get back in local waters today in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. There were so many horseshoe crabs including a big momma tangled in some fishing line who I assumed was dead. I decided to cut her free anyway and she started moving! Felt so good letting her go! 🦑🦀🥽

If the players weren't wearing numbers on their jerseys, these players name labels might make sense. But then they cover play. It's bad.

Look at this adorable alien! ❤️ his feets and fancy white hi-tops

On the very crowded ferry home and wearing a mask because of all the coughs and sniffles around me. One of the cough and sniffles is glaring DAGGERS at me for the mask I guess? Maybe I should offer her a mask too- I have extras!

To be fair, mayo is the devil and you can't tell me otherwise

a 🧵 on the way women and caregiving expectations this weekend I was on a ~4hr flight seated in the aisle with another woman in her late 30s/early 40s in the window seat. toward the end of boarding, a dad came through with his 5yo daughter to take the middle seats on either side of this row. 1/

Yo! Dudes! Let's DO THIS!

Lemon shark soup yesterday in Jupiter, FL! Had more than 14 lemon sharks in the water. 81°F at 80ft 🦈🦑🐟🤿

OK- here we go. Sorry for the delay, I was not prepared for the exertion required in the thrill-a-minute adventure that is… CACAO FERMENTATION. Yes, this will actually take 5 days. After that two days of drying. I’m not making this up. Nothing happens. Really. You’ll see. Anyway, off we go!

Wreck dive to the Mohawk out of Pt Pleasant NJ last Saturday. 40'+ viz, 61°F both air and water at 80'. Best viz of the season 🦑🐟🤿
