Beautiful friendship moment captured by @undersea_gameqmi 💙

The pygmy squid (Idiosepius notoides) is one of the tiniest cephalopods! 🤏 Filmmaker David Vazquez captured their incredible skills—like secreting glue to stick to surfaces & glowing for communication and hunting. 🌈🦑 🎥 @uw.ocean.visuals

The golden entourage 😎🤙🏽 By @danielthomasbrowne On tour with @coralbayeco 🙌🏽

Spotted gem by @cassie.under.water — a giant masking crab rocking a metridium like it’s ready to serve five-star plankton. Low-vis dive, low expectations… then this guy strolls in like a reminder that nature’s got jokes and perspective. The ocean stays undefeated.

Rescuing a cuttlefish and gently removing the hook—every life matters 💙 By @unluckyjavi13

First time seeing this caught on camera—two Southern Blue-Ringed Octopuses mating. Despite the rough water and low visibility, @sammyglenn_dives captured something rare: the male climbing onto the female’s mantle to start mating. Wild moment to witness.

Meet Talparia talpa — the mole cowry, also called the chocolate banded cowry. A nocturnal sea snail with a glossy, dark-banded shell that looks like it’s been dipped in chocolate. Nature’s hidden gem under the sea.

The tangled anglerfish lives in darkness, lures prey with light, and mates for life—literally. Males fuse to females, sharing blood in exchange for sperm. Deep sea romance is wild. By @sammyglenn_dives

Check out the stunning bowmouth guitarfish! A rare ray with a guitar-shaped head, it crushes crabs with blunt teeth and can grow over 8 ft long. Sadly, it’s endangered — every sighting is a treasure.

If it ain’t like this we don’t want it 💙 By @emilymaydive

Nudibranchs: soft-bodied, toxic, and straight-up fabulous. They glow, steal stingers from jellyfish, and breathe through feathery gills on their backs. Nature’s tiniest fashion icons. 🎥: @critter.hunter

Spotted via @moana_ryukyu: The Halimeda crab is a master of disguise—using algae to blend into reefs so well, it’s basically invisible. It wears its environment for survival. Nature’s real-life ninja.

Meet the guitarfish: part shark, part ray, shaped like a guitar, and totally underrated. Nature’s wild design at its finest. 🎸🦈 By @divingmaldive

A look back at this capture by Katie LaRue.benzz of this turtle slapping a manta 😂

The ribbon eel is one of the ocean’s most striking creatures, known for its long, slender body and vibrant colors that shift as it matures—from black to electric blue, and eventually bright yellow. By Abyss Dive Center
