 Rotan,
Honduras - Passages and cuts can be awsome. Not for
everyone, but many divers like to explore the dark passages found in
reefs and walls even though you are never out of sight of a way out.
This video was made on the north side of Rotan, near the Spooky Chanel
area. |
 The
Caribbean Reef Squid is the only squid species commonly
sighted by divers over inshore reefs in the Florida, Bahamas and Caribbean
region. We watched a pair for more than 5 minutes put on their show on a
shallow dive in Cozumel. |
 Caribbean
Spiny Lobster ranges from North Carolina to Brazil. This
one decided to take a stroll in broad daylight.

 The
Caribbean reef octopus
is characterized by its distinctive blue-green color with occasional
mottled-brown markings. The Caribbean reef octopus is solitary animal
and able to quickly change color using specialized cells in their skin
known as chromatophores. They are amaizing to watch as they flow across
the sea floor. |
 British
Virgin Islands - Seal Dogs, a group of smaller islands
on the north east side of the Francis Drake Chanel, the Seal Dogs are
uninhabited and isolated. Because of this, you seldom see a dive boat
here despite the several mooring balls for divers. Weather and tide can
make this a difficult dive and uncomfortable for those left on the
surface. |
 Great
Barracuda are voracious predators and hunt using a
classic example of lie-in-wait or ambush. They rely on surprise and
short bursts of speed (up to 27 mph (43 km/h)) to overrun their prey,
sacrificing maneuverability. Barracudas are more or less solitary in
their habits. Young and half-grown fish frequently congregate in shoals.
Their food is composed almost totally of fishes of all kinds. |
