~O R A C L E~⠀ ⠀ Mantis Shrimp in it's hole, taken in north Sulawesi.⠀ ⠀ There are many kinds of mantis shrimp but each seem very fascinating, looking like nothing else. They have huge eyes which move like satellite dishes and are extremely complex.⠀ ⠀ FUN FACT : All mantis shrimp species can be divided into ‘spearers’ or ‘smashers’, based on the types of claws they have and tactics they use All mantis shrimp species can be divided into ‘spearers’ or ‘smashers’, based on the types of claws they have and tactics they use to kill the prey.⠀ ⠀ Spearers have spiny appendages with barbed tips, that are used to stab soft-bodied prey, such as different types of worms and fish. Smashers have more developed club-like appendages that are used to blugeon and smash their prey to pieces.⠀ ⠀ #underwater #underwaterphotography #underwaterphotographer #underwaterworld #underwater_world #underwaterphoto #underwaterpic #underwaterpics⠀ #underwatershots #uwphotography⠀ #uwphotographer #uwphoto #uwphotos⠀ #uwpics #scuba #scubadiver #scubadiving⠀ #scubadive #scubaphoto #scubadiverslife⠀ #scubadivinglife #scubadivingmag #diving⠀ #dive #diver #diving_photography #divingphoto⠀

~S I M P L E T H I N G S~⠀ ⠀ Starfish in north Sulawesi⠀ ⠀ It's actually difficult to find a scene like this in North Sulawesi with the abundance of marine life there. That's why I felt complelles to take this picture of a solemn starfish on a rocky bottom as it stood out completely.⠀ ⠀ FUN FACT: Regenerating their own arms is perhaps one of the most useful things a starfish can do. This attribute can be used in many different ways. Arms can be lost when a starfish comes in contact with a predator, or it may be amputated in order to hide or escape from one⠀ ⠀ #underwater #underwaterphotography #underwaterphotographer #underwaterworld #underwater_world #underwaterphoto #underwaterpic #underwaterpics⠀ #underwatershots #uwphotography⠀ #uwphotographer #uwphoto #uwphotos⠀ #uwpics #scuba #scubadiver #scubadiving⠀ #scubadive #scubaphoto #scubadiverslife⠀ #scubadivinglife #scubadivingmag #diving⠀ #dive #diver #diving_photography #divingphoto⠀

~S E L F I S O L A T I O N~⠀ ⠀ Bubble Coral Shrimp, taken in North Sulawesi⠀ ⠀ I find these little guys very camera friendly and have never found one outside a bubble coral. They are the experts in keeping to themselves in their tiny patch they call home. With current events we could all learn something from this shrimps daily life.⠀ ⠀ #underwater #underwaterphotography #underwaterphotographer #underwaterworld #underwater_world #underwaterphoto #underwaterpic #underwaterpics⠀ #underwatershots #uwphotography⠀ #uwphotographer #uwphoto #uwphotos⠀ #uwpics #scuba #scubadiver #scubadiving⠀ #scubadive #scubaphoto #scubadiverslife⠀ #scubadivinglife #scubadivingmag #diving⠀ #dive #diver #diving_photography #divingphoto

~C O N T O U R S~ Thorny Seahorse, shot in North Sulawesi Seahorses can be tricky subjects depending on the individual. Usually they will turn to their side to see you more clearly making it hard to see them from any other angle. FUN FACT : When males are trying to catch the eye of a female, they lock tails and wrestle in an effort to try to impress her. Once a couple has paired off, the courtship gets even more intricate. They'll twist their tails together and pirouette in a slow dance that can last for hours. #underwater #underwaterphotography #underwaterphotographer #underwaterworld #underwater_world #underwaterphoto #underwaterpic #underwaterpics #underwatershots #uwphotography #uwphotographer #uwphoto #uwphotos #uwpics #scuba #scubadiver #scubadiving #scubadive #scubaphoto #scubadiverslife #scubadivinglife #scubadivingmag #diving #dive #diver #diving_photography #divingphoto

~S O U L M A T E S~ Pair of Cockatoo Waspfish, shot in Manado, north sulawesi. I remember finding this pair side by sand in the volcanic sand. A bottom dwelling fish that shuffles along the sand quite comically, getting blown over by thr current. Brown all over but with a bright red eye. It's common to find these in pair's like a little couple FUN FACT : This species is highly venomous and this venom can, under certain circumstances, be fatal #underwater #underwaterphotography #underwaterphotographer #underwaterworld #underwater_world #underwaterphoto #underwaterpic #underwaterpics #underwatershots #uwphotography #uwphotographer #uwphoto #uwphotos #uwpics #scuba #scubadiver #scubadiving #scubadive #scubaphoto #scubadiverslife #scubadivinglife #scubadivingmag #diving #dive #diver #diving_photography #divingphoto

~A B O D E~⠀ ⠀ Striped blenny taking shelter in an old glass bottle, shot in north sulawesi⠀ ⠀ Another shot of a little blenny I found in Manado hiding away. Was shy at first but after a little time began popping his head out for the camera.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #underwater #underwaterphotography #underwaterphotographer #underwaterworld #underwater_world #underwaterphoto #underwaterpic #underwaterpics⠀ #underwatershots #uwphotography⠀ #uwphotographer #uwphoto #uwphotos⠀ #uwpics #scuba #scubadiver #scubadiving⠀ #scubadive #scubaphoto #scubadiverslife⠀ #scubadivinglife #scubadivingmag #diving⠀ #dive #diver #diving_photography #divingphoto

~L E G E N D~ Blue ringed octopus, pictured in Lembeh This has to be one of my favourite critters to find. It took a while to find my first while staying in North Sulawesi which made it even more special when I did. Mostly famous for it's lethal venom the BRO is a suberb addition to a divers sighting list. FUN FACT : Adults range in size from 12 to 20 cm (5 to 8 in) and weigh from 10 to 100 grams. Females are slightly larger than males, but the size of any octopus varies greatly depending on nutrition, temperature, and available light #underwater #underwaterphotography #underwaterphotographer #underwaterworld #underwater_world #underwaterphoto #underwaterpic #underwaterpics #underwatershots #uwphotography #uwphotographer #uwphoto #uwphotos #uwpics #scuba #scubadiver #scubadiving #scubadive #scubaphoto #scubadiverslife #scubadivinglife #scubadivingmag #diving #dive #diver #diving_photography #divingphoto #octopus #octopusday

~V O Y A G E~ Another Bunaken green turtle Severly missing all the turtle action I was so used to in Bunaken national park. Sometimes you don't know which one to make your subject, you hesitate between 2 and then miss the one swimming over you head 😂👀. #turtledive #underwater #underwaterphotography #underwaterphotographer #underwaterworld #underwater_world #underwaterphoto #underwaterpic #underwaterpics #underwatershots #uwphotography #uwphotographer #uwphoto #uwphotos #uwpics #scuba #scubadiver #scubadiving #scubadive #scubaphoto #scubadiverslife #scubadivinglife #scubadivingmag #diving #dive #diver #diving_photography #divingphoto
