A helluva chonk of a bristle worm! This is the larva of a polychaete from the genus Scolelepis and it was hard to miss! #marineplankton 🦑

Little n’ large. Polychaete larvae from my latest plankton sample. #marineplankton 🦑

We’ve made a new friend in the anchorage. He’s round, whiskered, and an excellent swimmer. 🐙📷 #marinelife #marine #ocean #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #britishcolumbia

Hi goodeworx

I’ve changed

Hey! The offer is still up?

Cool pumpkin I just saw #pumpkin

Hi guys I’m on bluesaky. I only use it for good and I love god

Need some motiv-ocean to leap into the weekend? 🐟 Leaping blennies are amazing amphibious fish who can launch themselves off rocks and into the air up to 50 times their body length. 🌊 These extraordinary terrestrial fish shore do know how to make a splash, both in and outside the water!

Lots of nematodes in this week’s sample! There was a fair bit of loose seaweed in there, so that may be why? 🤔 #marineplankton 🦑

Salps, a clear, gelatinous ocean animal, use jet propulsion to glide through the water without leaving insight into how they move. With harmless green dye, former MIT-WHOI Joint Program graduate student Kelly Sutherland was able to study salp locomotion at the Liquid Jungle Lab in Panama.

The Sharp-Ear Enope #Squid is always a special find. This one was quite large (~2cm) and quite the performer! #sharpearenopesquid #enopesquid #🦑 #cephalopod #blackwater #blackwaterdiving #chrisgug #gugunderwater #gug #marinelife

Between grains of sand. What gets me is the interest in the world around him, the responsiveness, even the curiosity of such a miniscule creature. A Holm's hermit, watching me watching him. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

Every time I see people getting inappropriately close to sea lions, I wonder if they’ve ever seen a shot of those teefers because… HELL nah 🦊🦑 from yesterday at La Jolla!

The legendary rainbow tripod fish ( #Bathypteroisphenax) eventually settles on the seabed and lives its life sitting on its fintips above the silty abyssal plane. In its larval form is is one of the most stunning fish we see on our #blackwater dives. #deepsea #marinelife

It's world Sea Lion Day. Here's a Galapagos Sea Lion that just seemed to be napping right underneath me. These are endemic to the Galapagos. They are considered endangered. They will come right up to people as they did many times to me. Once while sitting in a lounge chair at a pool. 🦑🌿🦭

Hi blue sky

This was a highly productive macro dive at Old Garden Beach in Rockport, MA. We didn't swim very far, but found all sorts of critters. #newengland #Massachusetts #scuba #underwater #underwaterworld #underwaterphotography #diving #olympus #macrophotography #nudibranch #shrimp #snail #fish 📷 🦑 🦐

Hello #Nudivember! Today´s slug is an old friend. Tambja morosa. I wonder if they chose to call it morosa because it´s not particularly snazzy (in latin, morosus = hard to please). Well, I for one do like you, little one. This is from The Philippines. 🦑 #UnderwaterPhotography

Before and after his very first molt with Holokai (#MonkSealRG40)... you've seen the "before" as my annual Halloween green goblin photo, but I love the side by side of these two images, taken just a few weeks apart, where the "after" is his fresh coat. 📷📸🦑🦊

Here's a little timeline-cleansing video I put together after a couple of days spent diving with seals and sea lions in the Sea of Cortez. I posted it at the time but most of you weren't here yet. #MarineLife #DiveSky youtu.be/-7f2xGGPx9A?...

Lovely to see grey seal pups on the Farne Islands this week #MarineLife #photography

A thread of finds from last night’s king tide!! Wish to have seen more, but loved everything we got!! 🦑 Don’t know why the horse clam was sitting out there. But we had a log covered in sea stars and a couple chitons chilling around

A bunch of seal noses to brighten your day. From the #Orgeoncoast #wildlife #animals #photography #vote #nature

I would like to notify anyone reading this Skeet™️ that half of it was stolen from me, and BlueSky user Melody WILL be hearing from my legal team. These actions are simply unacceptable and cannot be allowed to go unpunished. You can sign my petition to have her locked up by wishing for it really hard

At depths over 6,000 meters, researchers have discovered “faceless” fish with no visible eyes or nose, relying on unique sensory adaptations to navigate in complete darkness. #marinelife
