Kiss from a Turtle
This friendly sea turtle swam over to give a kiss to this beautiful lady.
Under the Jetty
It seems that no matter where you go, underneath the jetty is like a market place. Well, I guess it’s both above and below the jetty. You always see food, boats, and crowd of people (or fish). around the jetty. Whenever possible, I go explore the local jetty… above and below!
Forgotten Colors
When you are looking through a collection of underwater pictures, you can guess where some picture were taken from the colors and marine life you see around the reef. This one, for example, with predominantly orange soft coral, sea fans, tunicates and sponges with a swarm of brightly colored reef fish is from the Forgotten Islands.
Playing with Sea Lions
Can you see that this cute little sea lion is holding a rock in his mouth? There are also some rocks scattered in front of him. He is showing me the rock he and his friend are playing with! They swam in circles around each other, threw a rock down, and then picked one up. They were swimming around so fast that the torn bits of seaweed swirled around them like leaves in a whirlwind. I played with them with the rocks for about 10m minutes. They can freely swim around and play holding one breath, while I am taking so many breaths from my tank… lol The sea lions at Santa Barbara Island is so cute and playful.
Solomon's Big Sea Fan
One more 180 degree shot from Solomon Islands. Remembering the beautiful coral reef and the big sea fans.
