Chocolate Chip Cookie!

Found this chocolate chip sea star (Protoreaster nodotus)on a bed of deep green seaweed. I thought to myself, "It does look like a star shaped chocolate chip cookie!"

A Splash of Color

In Southern California we have the kelp forest. I found a different kind of forest under the jetty in Raja Ampat, Indonesia.

Double Bubble

Double bubble rings! Did I mention this is my favorite thing to do during my safety stop?

Melt Away the Stress

Feeling weightless and swimming among school of fish will melt all the stress of daily life away. It is so relaxing. Everything feels so much easier in the tropics when you are used to diving in a 7mm wetsuit in cold California water.

Enjoying the Sunset

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