The wreck of the Gertrude

Or, rather, the scuttling of the Gertrude. It was apparently an intentional sinking. Interesting how the fish hanging around it are apparently lying on the structures. Perhaps too cold to move in Alberta.

Our Irish friends are back with an audience with a spiny squat lobster, and his shrimpy attendants. Always fascinating to see exotic creatures so far from the tropics.

Galapagos spotted eagle ray

Time well spent scuba diving in the Galapagos. I spot turtles, seals, but most dramatically a spotted eagle ray. Again, if you think this is a trite post or I'm unqualified to be making zoological comments on these videos, remember that a main purpose of this blog is to celebrate creative commons licensed videos. NatGeo doesn't let you do things that a CC-BY license does.

Real-world colors in Malta

Essentially a screen test during scuba in which two jellyfish are visible. But one interesting thing here is that even though it's an exotic location-- Malta-- they basically see a lot of brown grassy things. I remember going snorkeling on a cruise in the tropics and feeling cheated when the surroundings didn't mimic the most colorful scenes from Finding Nemo. I guess sometimes the real ocean is a muddy brown.

Another PSA from NOAA on marine debris. This one makes a brief mention of damaging coral, which I'd never thought of.
