I returned last night from a wonderful trip to the British Virgin Islands. Spent a week on a sailboat, sailing to four islands, and snorkeling and scuba diving off of two of them. The weather cooperated nicely and I thoroughly enjoyed the warm clear water!! More pics to come! #sailing #ocean #scuba #beach #nature #photography #SeaScape #NaturePhotography

Two of the islands that I sailed to had small rock islands near them. Once the sailboat was tied up at each main island, I then took the dinghy to the nearby rock island to scuba dive. Here are pics from below the surface as I dived around one of those rock islands. It’s a different world underwater! #ocean #scuba #nature #SeaScape #photography #NaturePhotography

Here are some of my views when I went scuba diving around the other rock island on my trip last week. This area had a different underwater landscape than the one shown in my earlier post; the seafloor was much more gently sloping. Saw some interesting coral and other forms of life on the bottom here that were quite different from the other rock island. #ocean #scuba #photography #nature #seascape #NaturePhotography

Something’s fishy here! On one of my dives off of the sailboat, I discovered a barracuda and remora (suckerfish) lurking under the boat, each 3-4 feet (1 m) in length. They remained there in spite of my presence and occasionally cruised close to me. For a while, the remora attached itself to the keel of one of the hulls of the boat (upper right pic)! I had more fun near the surface watching these fish than being at the bottom that day! #ocean #scuba #nature #photography #NaturePhotography

No waterfall today on WaterfallWednesday, but how about a wave crashing over a large rock formation as viewed from underwater? Saw a number of such events while snorkeling around a rocky point last week. Waves were crashing regularly over the rocks--- had to be careful and not get sucked into the swirling chaos of each crash! #ocean #snorkeling #waves #nature #photography #NaturePhotography #Seascape

This might give you nightmares the night before you go for a dip in the ocean: giant octopuses the size of whales. A new analysis of fossils shows that these intelligence creatures once grew to a length of 62 feet and used their strong jaws to crush the skeletons of their prey. Fortunately for today’s ocean swimmers, this was millions of years ago. @ScienceAlert@flipboard.com has more: https://flip.it/vvYX5O #Science #Animals #Ocean #SeaCreatures

A dramatic collapse of the #AntarcticFurSeal population likewise prompted the #IUCN to change the species’s status from “least concern” to “#endangered.” The organization said that rising #ocean temperatures have pushed the seals’ main prey — krill — to greater ocean depths, making it harder for the seals to find food.​ Between 1999 & 2025, the IUCN said, the number of Antarctic fur seals dropped by more than 50% #GlobalWarming #wildlife #MarineLife #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #law

Part of my walk along Dallas Road in Victoria, BC today. With King Tides we can get water, driftwood, kelp and gravel on the road. At the Swim Rotunda, east of Ogden Point. 🌊 #photography #Victoria #BC #JamesBay #DallasRdShoreline #NotAI #OgdenPoint #JuandeFucaStrait #JamesBay #water #ocean #waves #pacificnorthwest Dallas Road Winter Storm https://youtube.com/shorts/HiZmUo3MFUw?si=GH_0nUUK4X2plPdG
