Another unexpected pelagic visitor on my dive yesterday! The surface was very murky, but the Sea Nettles (Chrysaora fuscescens) made it worth spending some time there.
I’ve only seen this species maybe 4 times. To find a number of them in good condition was exciting!

An unexpected visitor at one of my favourite dive sites.
I was watching the large school of Widow Rockfish (Sebastes entomelas) when I noticed an odd shape mixed in with them. I’ve only seen molas at the surface and when I jump in to take photos they don’t stick around long enough to get any!
This is my favourite part about the ocean, you really never know what will show up.

I recently started doing night dives again and they’re just the best! So many of the animals that are hidden during the day are out hunting for food and of course there’s the bioluminescent plankton. As I got out from this dive I spent a while hanging on the dive ladder and waving my hands through the sparkling darkness.
My favourite encounter from this dive were the Spotted Ratfish (Hydrolagus colliei). They mostly ignored me as they hovered near the bottom using their electrosensory organs to look for prey hiding in the sand. This species of Chimaera is unique in coming shallow enough to see while scuba diving, they range from the surface all the way down to 900m while most species in this family stay in deep waters.

I can’t wait to get back in for a swim around this kelp forest. The golden light and dancing beams of sunlight refracting through the canopy and in to little rainbows is pretty much everything my brain needs.
