Enjoying the Sunset

Taking a little break from diving and enjoying the tropical sunset.

Underwater Star

Here is one of our new divers admiring a bright orange bat star at Santa Cruz Island. Visibility is often low during the summer months, but this does not mean the dive is any less fun. All you have to do is to take a closer look at the reef. You will spot countless creatures on and around the reef or sandy floors. 

Strange -but cute- Invaders

Normally these pelagic red tuna crabs are found in the west coast of Baja California, Mexico. When water temperature rises they ride the warm water northward and are seen by the thousands in southern and central California coast.

Triple Fangs

A trio of fangblennies peeking out from their sponge homes to check us out. These fish belong to species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian ocean.

Butterflies Under the Sea

Mirror butterflyfish (Chaetodon speculum) is found in coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific region. These fish are usually seen solitary or in pairs. They are relatively uncommon so it is a special treat to see them.
