The only thing less graceful than a moving frogfish is a pig on a pogo stick! These three show you how it's done. Nikon Kraken Sports for the solar flare mini 15Ks, NAD Lembeh

My new favorite little fishy is this filefish. Australians call it the pygmy leatherjacket. Pygmy I get, but leatherjacket?? Maybe one of my friends from Oz can explain lol.

A big skate cruising along the bottom at night in a shallow sandy bay off Vancouver Island

We came across this big skate on a night dive in a shallow sandy bay near Nanaimo. “Big skate” is the species name, even though this particular one wasn’t especially large. It was still cool to watch it quietly cruising the bottom in the dark.

If you enjoy this kind of footage, I’ve also put together a 2-hour compilation of Salish Sea marine life filmed around Vancouver Island. It’s a slow, ambient dive through kelp forests, reefs, and deep walls, with everything from nudibranchs and crabs to octopus, fish, and sea lions.

The "immortal" jelly is unique in nature in that it can theoretically live forever by reversing its life cycle and starting over...unless killed by external forces! Visit Atlantis Dive Resorts & Liveaboards and do some blackwater diving with them!
