The colours are spectacular. Beautiful photograph 🧡

Idk that I have those fish just b/c the dives I watch are usually deeper than where they live, but I have lots of octopus! Here's a vitreledonella from my favorites folder @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 556 #ventunderworld #MarineLife

I had the same experience! I went a bit extreme and deleted almost all of my social media + dialled back the permissions on my remaining. I noticed that some core features don't even function unless you give the app access to all your info. Surrendering your privacy shouldn't be a cultural norm.

Fantastic shots btw!

Their ability to mimic textures on their skin is amazing. I love when they camouflage to look like rocks or corals.

Completely agree. Privacy is a right.

So jealous! What kind of dolphins are in the pictures?
