Seahorses are some of our favourite animals to spot on a dive! ✨🥳🤿
They are not only super cute, but they can also move their curious eyes independently from one another. They use this skill to scan their surroundings for potential predators and prey. 👀
With their curled tails, seahorses often anchor themselves to a blade of seagrass and gently sway with the reeds in perfect camouflage.🌱
Have you ever seen one?

Glitter Squids, or Bigfin Reef Squids, have chromatophores and iridophores which allow them to change colours reflect the light!! ✨👽
They can even change the patterns they display, to help them communicate with other squids.
These intelligence creatures are some of our favourite animals to encounter, especially on a night dive! 🦑✨🫶

Shrimp orchestra 🎶✨
Check out this Sarasvati Anemone Shrimp, named after the Hindu goddess of music, knowledge, flowing water, art, abundance and wealth. 👑
The Sarasvati Anemone Shrimp is a species of cleaner shrimp. They are typically found in small groups and live in anemones, with whom they share a symbiotic relationship with.
When a predator approaches, the shrimp retreats beneath the coral’s stinging tentacles. In return, they pay their rent by keeping the coral clean from parasites, algae and plankton.🪸
Not only do they clean their coral hosts, but they also wave their arms around to attract more customers! If a fish comes along to a cleaning station, these shrimp proceed to clean the creature’s mouths, gills, etc, feeding on the tiny organisms that may harm their hosts.

Writer and Undersea explorer Arthur C. Clarke once said, “How inappropriate to call this planet ‘Earth’ when it is quite clearly ‘Ocean’.”
We couldn’t agree more!!! 🫶
Happy Earth Day from our little friends down under!!! 🐠🌏

In Native American legends, turtles represent planet earth. 🌏🐢
And it makes sense, these are some of the longest living creatures on the planet!
Turtles have been swimming around since the dinosaurs roamed the earth. They can grow up to 80 years old, and no matter how far they’ve travelled, will always return back to the same beach where they were born to lay their eggs. 🪺
These wise creatures seem to have an innate ability to return to their home, almost as if they have an in-built GPS system in their brains!
What we learn from these creatures is to travel far, but to remember to visit home often. 🤗🏡
When we are often on the go, turtles reminds us to move gracefully throughout our lives, take our time, slow down and enjoy the moment we are in. 🫶

Two organisms, totally dissimilar, live together in harmony. Not only do they find ways to coexist, but they need each other to survive. 🪸🐠
Sometimes, without one species, the other will die.
It is both scary and liberating to realise that we too, exist in symbiosis. To be human is to rely on the plants, animals, the people and the planet. We need food to survive, medicine when we’re sick, we also need our friends and family for love and support.
We cannot exist alone. Like the anemone and the clownfish, we need each other to survive. 🫶🌏

Macro Photography Tip!! ⭐️📸
When shooting macro, try shooting lots of different angles for a different and interesting perspective.
This Dorid Nudibranch made for a fabulous subject for our macro shoot!! 🐠
We especially love shooting nudibranchs, because they don’t swim away too quickly 😆

Who else is excited for whale season?! 🐳🥹🫶
Every year thousands of humpback whales migrate to warmer seas to give birth to their young. It’s a magical time of the year, and an incredible phenomenon to witness!

Hawksbill Turtle 🐢⭐️
These turtles’ pointed beaks, which as the name suggests, resembles a bird of prey. Like underwater hawks, they use these beaks to pick up their prey tucked in the coral reef.
Hawksbills are highly vulnerable to extinction. With only ~8000 estimated remaining in the wild, they are classified as critically endangered by the IUCN. 😢
We were lucky to find this one relaxing on the reef! 😌
