The Giant Underwater

Giant clam (Tridacna gigas) is the largest living bivalve mollusk in the world, and also one of the most endangered clam species. They can grow to be almost 50 inches and weigh as much as 440 pounds. They are among the amazing creatures you can see in the coral reefs of the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific.

Splash of Color

Soft coral in the tropics add so much color and flare to the reef. I waited for a diver to swim over to just the right place for this picture. My patience paid off.

Surprised Look

I love looking for these little blennies. This little guy is not particularly colorful, but he was so cute I had to take a picture. He was perched on coral and just stayed still. It was almost like I surprised him and he didn’t know what to do.  

This Looks Like...

This image reminded me of the school of silversides at the oil rigs in southern California. Well the fish in the picture is much bigger than silversides and the water is much, much warmer…

Photo Bomb!

Is the boy photo bombing us or are we photo bombing him? We had so much fun at Solomon Islands.
