Good morning, it’s Friday!! We have had a very busy week here at the Substation and today will be no different. Yesterday I did three dives and then at 5:30 met Stijn and my new rider for an hour and a half fast paced ride thru the wilds of Curacao, it was great! This was [...]
Good morning from the Caribbean!! Here is our newest find, this is a beautiful five inch long Whitenose Pipefish, Cosmocampus albirostris. I found this cool creature three days ago while out shooting the sub, he was just laying in the sand right below me and I could hardly wait to get in for a closer look!! [...]
Hi gang, a few days ago when I was last out on the reef I came across this cool Honeycomb Cowfish, Acanthostracion polygonia but only had my macro lens. This seems to be an ongoing problem that I never have the lens I need for the photo at hand, it’s a great case of “Murphy’s Law”!! [...]
Good morning Amigo’s how was your weekend?? Mine was again fairly quiet, about the only real activity I did was to work on my new mountain bike trail for two hours each day. The trail itself is coming along very nice but is super slow work mostly because of how thick the desert is with [...]

Good afternoon all, sorry so late but I have been at work since 5:00 am!! My plan was to get in early and put some of the deep water crabs into buckets and start acclimating them back to the outside temperature, this takes hours to do! Then at around 9:00 once their water temperature was [...]
Good morning land dwellers! You all know how it goes, if there is a dolphin photo I usually ask Aimee to write the blog so here she is. Here is a fun photo from the world underwater. This is me, in my own little personal heaven. Yup folks, heaven on earth is swimming with your [...]
Good morning friends, how was your weekend?? Did you get out and enjoy the World around you or just stay home and work on “the o’l Honey DO List”??? Mine was a little of both and both days started out with working on my new mountain bike/hiking trail in Jan Thiel. I spent the mornings [...]
