Meet the Mantis Shrimp
Let me introduce you to one of our favorite marine creatures: the mantis shrimp. Why are they a favorite? They're cute (sort of), they're very smart (for a crustacean), and they're fun to watch. Unfortunately, they're also difficult to photograph -- more on this a little later! The individual in the photos on this page is a Shortnose Mantis Shrimp (Odontodactylus brevirostris), from Hawaii. I know that the critter looks pretty big in these photos, but it's not. These are macro images. The manti

Underwater Digital Photography at home
I wanted to take a more serious look at underwater photography, so I did! I LOVE WATER! I also love photography and I’ve always wanted to mix the two. After much research I decided to go with the Fantasea Underwater Housing for my older Nikon D70 DSLR camera. Sure I’ve got newer better cameras like my D300, but none that I was willing risk taking underwater for the first time (even with the included flood insurance). If I lost my D70 it wouldn’t be the end of the world, but if I lost my D300 I’
The Cave Where Turtles Die
Back in the early 1980s, the famous ocean explorer Captain Jacques Yves Cousteau and his team made their first visit to Sipadan Island, off the coast of Borneo. They made a film about Sipadan, and one of the highlights in that film was an eerie cave in which they found many bones and skeletons of sea turtles. They had never before seen such a sight, and they were puzzled by it. At the time, they theorized that perhaps old sea turtles just went there to die. About a decade after Cousteau's first
Sublime Scuba Photography: Black & White In Underwater Photography
Not the best photo in the world but fine for documentary/reference purposes. The main reason, however, I rarely use black and white for underwater photos is that I want to show off the fantastic colours of the marine environment. ...

What is the difference between 'endemic' and 'indigenous' species?
When I write about the creatures we have come to know, I nearly always identify both their common name, and their scientific name, and of course I tell our readers where the creatures live. In some instances, I may also mention that a creature is 'endemic' to a certain place. A reader recently asked, "Does endemic mean the same thing as indigenous?" The answer is, "Not exactly." Let me explain. When we say that a species is indigenous to a place, we mean simply that it occurs there naturally.
