More shots from Point Pleasant, NJ shore diving. If you look closely at the 2nd photo, there's crab-ception happening, a hermit crab is hitching a ride on the spider(?) crab 🦑🐙🦀

I'm so old, I remember when the web did not equal The Internet. I used RLogin to access the Internet and most of it was for newsgroups and IRC.

What's great is there are a number shore dives all you need is a wet/drysuit, a rental tank/weights/bcd/regs and the tide charts. Apparently the Jetstream even brings the tropicals here in August/Sept! 🌴🐠

It was chilly(51-61) but it can get up to 70-74 later in the summer. Viz was decent(10ft?) until someone started stirring up the bottom. Saw some comb jellies, shellfish, some rays and SO MANY crabs! It was really fun!

It's taken me two years of waking up early, with remote working poolside as an incentive to train myself to be an early bird. Have to be up a full 2 hours earlier this week and I'm *shattered* Drysuit certification tomorrow and I'm so tired!

Critically Endangered sawfish, a shark-like ray with a hedge trimmer on their face, are spinning in circles until they die. I spoke with experts about what's going on, unprecedented rescue attempts, and how you can help.

Please. Humans. If you're coughing, for whatever reason- stay home please. Even if YOU don't feel sick doesn't mean you won't get someone else sick. Also, please cover your mouth if you do have to cough in public. -your seatmate on public transport for the next 60mins

I love how- like many other crabs I've met, they get miffed if you startle them. But they're just so *silly looking* I just giggle at their threatening displays

Ooh I didn't know there was an operator in Bali! I know Mike Bartick runs one in the Philippines but I haven't made it to Asia for diving. So glad you enjoyed it! I evangelize for blackwater ever chance I get 😁

Yes! It's my absolute favorite type of dive but the photography side is so hard. Sometimes I just let my camera drift and watch the aliens come in and out of the beams of light! Did you go in Cozumel with Blackwater Bob?
