Hello again!
Starfish ⭐️
Good morning from Mr Yellowhead Eel
One of my favorite of over 800 species of eels
Eels don't have pectoral fins (side) like most fish and most all are carnivores and some even eat other eels
Most eels are nocturnal and feed at night
Eels live anywhere from 5 to 10 years in the wild and one species has been known to live up to 80 years in captivity
You can buy this one on @objktcom

Pirates anchor?
Really good chance this was from a pirate ship
Can you see the anchor?
This is off the cost of Little Cayman on a stretch of reef called Bloody Bay
The Cayman Islands are just south of Cuba and were stopping and settlement points for pirates in the 18th century including Black Beard himself 🏴☠️

Red Grouper
They live on the bottom or near any structure
They are "bottom feeders" meaning they eat anything that is laying around dead or alive
One of the most widely commercially harvested fish mostly because of they are easy to catch on a hook & line
Not shy either.

Undulated Moray Eel 💛
They have a lot of teeth
Some believe that they grow toxins in their mouths
They strike fast and hard...moving in with their teeth first

Underwater textures, contours & shapes
The mixture of shapes textures underwater is amazing
These designs are serve several purposes
Defense - looking dangerous or inhospitable
Camouflage - Blending in or changing
Shelter - Creating a home for other species
Most things don't actually feel like they look! 👀

Smooth Trunkfish
Hard outer body made up of bone-like exterior
Feeds on small things on the bottom by pushing jets of water from their mouth and "puffing" up the sand so they can scoop up their meals
They are toxic to most fish when attacked

Another Sea Crinoid..also know as a Sea Lillie
They belong to the starfish family and are "suspension feeders" meaning the eat what is floating in the water
They are more rigid than they appear
Some permanently attach themselves to the bottom or corals while others can walk along the bottom or even swim freely

Black Cheek Moray Eel
A.K.A "Eachow"
Meaning if you come too close he will "eachow a** up"
Can't you tell just by looking at him?

Pederson Cleaner Shrimp
These shrimp live in and around anemones & coral areas
They form a symbiotic relationship with larger fish such as eels & groupers primarily to clean teeth and areas around mouths
When diving, if you see one you can stick your finger out and he will quickly come to it and clean you right up!

Hawksbill Sea Turtle
Sea turtles are reptiles that live in the ocean unless they are nesting on a beach & laying eggs
They are easily identified by the upper jaw that is pointed & looks kind of like a hawk & have 4 little squares between their eyes
They live up to 60 years
Some cultures still harvest them for food

Buoyancy Control
When scuba diving one of the most important things to control is your bouyancy
You can do this by using your BDC (buoyancy control device) with compressed air from your tank or..
You can also do this with your lung capacity by inhaling or exhaling to make yourself float or sink
(Me a long time ago)

Sea Fans
They look like a plant but are actually an animal and related to corals
Their polyps are actually feathery and trap small particles for food
They often are a habitat for many small creatures
This is a purple sea fan or "Gorgonian" sea fan
Remember to meter the blue 💙

Shark Overfishing
Sharks are threatened with extinction due to the stress of fishing
Slow growth rate and late sexual maturity as well as a small amount of offspring make sharks a fragile resource
Cultural and regional stress on sharks are leading to a decline in the populations.

Basic underwater photography exposure
Basic metering of UW photography is simple start by "metering the blue"
You can do this at the start of a dive by metering the middle blue of the water halfway down to the bottom & set your shutter speed
Next set you set f-stop based on strobe power & distance from the subject

Clark’s anemone fish
There are 27 different types of anemone fish
They live in sea anemones which are toxic to most other animals
Anemone fish live in groups with only one female in the group
Most anemone fish only live in one type of anemone
Clark’s can live in up to 10 different types though ☀️

Stingrays
Stingrays are carnivorous which means they eat animals smaller than themselves
Their mouths are on their undersides & although they have no bones in their bodies they have very powerful jaw strength
This allows them to crush up food like small crabs & shellfish
As you can see they are always smiling 😀

Common Octopus
Fun Facts:
They have blue blood
They have 3 hearts
ALL Octopus are venomous
They can change colors quickly
Their arms can perform separate tasks
Very very smart - quickly solving mazes and other tasks for food rewards
They have been known to pick sporting games outcomes 😆
