An early morning dive with a sleepy appearing Common octopus retreating to a safe pipe den. It seemed a curious little soul, who couldn’t decide if it wanted to continue to observe us, or to go take a nap. Fabulous little creature!

A fun perspective to a common subject found in South Florida waters. Funny Yellowline arrow crab with a very tiny claw snacking on a yummy morsel.

Second time in a matter of weeks I have seen this pair of Horseshoe crabs during mating behaviors at the bridge. Little fella has been quite persistent to his fuller lady love. Not a common site to see at this site, but I can’t help but root him on, even if she wasn’t having any of it.

A few pretty ponies are back at the bridge! Including this beautiful cream colored Lined Seahorse that was carefully trying to blend into the sponge. Its little spots seemed to glow!

Peek A Boo, I see you little Seaweed blenny. Peeking out from its burrow from under the bridge.
