Underwater Highway
If your commute looked this pretty maybe you wouldn't mind it too much. Perhaps that's why these fish keep forming schools and swim along the reef.
Territorial Sheep
California sheephead (Semicossyphus pulcher) live in the kelp forests and rocky reefs of the Eastern Pacific Ocean, ranging from Monterey Bay, California, to the Gulf of California, Maxico. All California sheephead are born female, but they may become male if the dominant male of the harem dies or leaves. This image of is taken by one of Ocean Safari’s leading instructors.
New Year Greeting!
Happy New Year Everyone!
New year, new dive trip plans. The Ocean Safari divers are getting ready to dive all over Southern California again this year, starting on January 15th. We also have overseas trips planned. More dives, more adventures, more friends, and more pictures!
I Caught a Lionfish by Surprise
I think this lion-fish is looking right at me. It's almost like he was casually swimming aomg and suddenly noticed I was there with my camera ready. He looks rather surprised.
What You'd Expect to See
Over the years I have travelled all over the world to dive, but Raja Ampat remains at the top of my list of favorite dive destinations. Everything you'd expect when diving in the tropical waters is here: colorful reef with soft and hard coral, beautiful (and warm) blue water, and large school of fish. The biodiversity and concentration of marine life in this area is simply amazing. The remoteness of the location and the fact the diving condition here is often a little more challenging compared to many of the other popular dive destination also appeals to me.
