🦀 Ever heard of a body-snatching barnacle? Meet Sacculina, the parasite that turns crabs into zombie parents. It takes over their bodies, shuts down reproduction, and even makes male crabs care for its eggs. Nature’s version of mind control is way creepier than fiction. 💀 #HappyHalloween

🐢🌊 Did you know there are 7 species of sea turtles and six of them can be found right here around the U.S.?
Each one plays a unique role in our oceans, from reef cleaners to deep-sea travelers.

📢 Thailand just banned entry-level divers from taking underwater photos during training dives to protect coral reefs. 📷❌ Only Advanced certs or 40+ dives allowed. Honestly… focus on your buoyancy, not your selfie. 🪸🙃 #DiveSmart #ThailandDiving #ReefSafe
