It’s kinda late but scuba diving was so much fun. Being able to be so close to wild animals without being in a cage was so amazing and captivating. I’m so glad I got certified!

Today's excursion was to check out the muddy areas of the bay during low tide. We were mainly searching for marine epifauna, like clams, mussels, and crabs. My favorite part was seeing all of the octopus that were hidden underneath large rocks. We also got a nice little surprise from octopi living inside a clam and taking care of her egg! I also was lucky to find a Jawfish that was hiding in the sand, and she actually had all of her eggs held inside her mouth! It was amazing to see, we didn’t see any others of her kind so we brought her towards the ocean where she could have a lot more water to breath. A few people in our group were able o find sand dollars too! Later in the day we went kayaking and had lots of fun floating around in the Morau estuary. It was pretty neat to see the women-owned oyster farm that resides there as well!...
