Just now finished scuba diving here in SE Massachusetts. Dived with a friend who I hadn't seen in a while. A great way to reconnect!

When you wait in vain for the #traffic light to turn green ...
The #lake in the former limestone quarry near #Stromberg was created in 2015 after a groundwater vein was blasted. Thanks to this source, the water there is never colder than 8°C, even in winter...good for a proper warm-up ! And as usual, you can find funny remnants of people in such a body of #water

I just got back from a sunset scuba dive-- first dive of the year! Here was my view just before I went into the water. It was really great exploring the underwater world again! #ScubaDiving #ocean #beach
Tässä on hieman pidempi video sekoilevasta delfiinistä, joka vietti meidän kanssa reilut 20 minuuttia. Sitten kun me nousimme pintaan, niin tämä sankari meni hessuilemaan snorklaajien kanssa
Another critter-packed dive up at Fort Constitution Pier in New Hampshire. I found a really good rock with all the critters on it!
May I introduce: her majesty, the #caddisfly
#RotterSee, 3m “soup” visibility, typical for #spring. A closer look reveals some funny fellows, especially at this time of the year. Camouflage is everything! Although, if you walk through the lake with one of these cases...very inconspicuous ! Everyone has their own architectural style!

Captured this image of a banded guitarfish back in 2018 in the Sea of Cortez. This trip was jam-packed with awesome critters and I barely knew how to use my camera to capture them. Might be time for a return trip.
Another beautiful and cold month underwater here in New England. I managed 3 dives in New Hampshire and 1 in Massachusetts. I easily saw a couple hundred nudibranchs over the course of these dives
This dive at the Fort Constitution Research Pier in New Hampshire in late March was jam-packed with nudis, but the barnacle-eating nudibranchs in particular were EVERYWHERE. My gloves were leaking, so my hands were very cold (41F ) but this was a nice dive!
Today is National Dolphin Day, so I'll share a few pictures of these awesome marine mammals. Here's a still and some video from my best dolphin encounter. The pod of over 100 cruised by half asleep and several drifted quite close to me. It was amazing!!!

Visited Folly Cove for the first time in a few months and found a nice variety of different nudi species. We saw a couple Ancula gibbosa, a few Ananthodoris pilosa, and even an Onchidoris muricata. My favorite find of the dive was a large mysis shrimp that I followed for a bit and managed to photograph in the water column. Nice dive!
Some images from another excellent dive at Peirce Island in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in mid-March.

A very nice blog about #diving and #underwater #photography. Brian shows absolutely impressive macro shots.
If you want to see this for yourself, better take a magnifying glass with you when diving!
Thanks @webcubus for these beautiful insights !
We've turned on the magic algae lamp just for you today. A little romance is a must!
Throw away your lava lamps! This one is all the rage now

Just posted my February wrap-up of dives. It's a short one since I only managed two dives that month, but I did get some interesting photos.
What I like about diving are these unexpected moments.
Our local lake. Been there hundreds of times. You think to yourself, nothing special.
And then you experience this special light mood, this abundance of color. The shore is flooded. Just below the surface, you get unexpected insights into the beauty of nature. The good things are often so close.
This moment, captured in the fall of 2024.

Looks deadly boring?
Yes, on the surface! But take a look at what can be hidden underneath...
