Some fantastic conditions last weekend diving offshore in NJ. Easily 40 ft visibility, 72F at the top, 52 at 120ft. The jellyfish deco gauntlet on the way back up felt like a level from Mario Bros-i could've done with one of the invincible stars 🐙🦑🦀🐟🐠🤿

From 100ft looking up through the wreck, the rusty metal shipwreck recedes into the distant green water. Fishes are seen in silhouette against the brighter surface

The water is littered with stingy jellyfish, making for exciting decompression stops on the way back to the surface

Some cold water anemones, swinging in the current attached to the rusty metal wreck

Drove to NC over the weekend to get some warmup dives in as the season kicks off. This is from the wreck of the Aeolus in 110ft of water. On the breather, the fish just seem to ignore me! It's really incredible 🦈🤿🦑

Saw this guy from the parking lot. He was upside down and I was afraid he was dead but i went to flip him anyway Picked him up and he moved! Even better, he has a tag! Horseshoe crabs might look dangerous but they're completely harmless with no way to hurt you even if they wanted to 🦑🐙🦀

I took this with a TG-6 a couple years ago in Roatan. The tiny worm is roughly 2mm long and on a mooring line to give you a sense of scale. A DSLR housing is expensive but you may be able to get a macro lens/diopter that can be submerged without getting the whole rig wet!

@greenleejw.bsky.social I got excited about your @ name but then read your description about being a surprised historian, not a surprised eel. Every time I see an eel, I hear them say "Surprise!" and for a moment thought I was no longer alone 😭

The clown triggerfish was such a standout, it quickly became a favorite fish to spot! It was also super shy for a triggerfish, preferring to run away instead of attack like the triggers we all know and love 🦑🐙🤿🐟🪸

It was so much fun to meet sea creatures like sea snakes/kraits who don't live in the Atlantic/Caribbean, different types of hard and soft corals that are thriving despite VERY warm water temps and to see familiar fish shapes in new flavors and color patterns. 🐙🦑🤿🐟

Nice to get back in local waters today in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. There were so many horseshoe crabs including a big momma tangled in some fishing line who I assumed was dead. I decided to cut her free anyway and she started moving! Felt so good letting her go! 🦑🦀🥽
