#10: Quick night dive report

By the way, the night dive I mentioned in this post was awesome. I was so focused on keeping my partners work area lit, without crashing into them, that my imagination couldn't run wild and I didn't freak out.

I was pretending to turn Deb's air off before she jumped in the water.

Huge shout out to Don for trying to repair my salty power cord and to Russ for supplying me with an alternate power source.

About

The New England Aquarium replenishes the fishes and invertebrates in our Caribbean reef exhibits with two annual expeditions to the Bahamas. During these expeditions, the Aquarium's biologists work very closely with the Bahamas Ministry of Fisheries. A Bahamian official comes on board during the trip to monitor our collecting techniques.
We don't take anything on the IUCN Red List, or any species that are endangered or threatened. After about a week of collecting we carefully ship the animals back to Boston so eventually they can be viewed by the Aquarium's visitors.
