About 7 weeks ago 360 Panorama: Philippe Cousteau & CNN at Wilson Island

Pictured here is the host of CNN's "Going Green" program Philippe Cousteau driving a Catlin Seaview Survey scooter infront of a huge 500 year old hard coral.

This image was captured by the SVII camera last year on Wilson Island when CNN came to film our project. You can catch the documentary as part of CNN's 'Going Green Ocean's week'.

About 2 weeks ago Photosphere: The wreck of the Antilla, Aruba, Caribbean Sea

This 360 degree #photosphere  was captured last month by our SVII camera. The image shows a portion of the Antilla, a shipwreck which lies off the northern tip of Aruba in the south Caribbean Sea.

There is a lot to see in this image; fish swim all around the wreck (wrecks often attract plenty of marine life who live amongst these solid structures), colourful, soft tube corals grow from a length of the wreck, another diver swims in the distance and our dive boat keeps watch from the above.

This is one of our favourite photospheres so far, a great way to celebrate having over 3 million people G+, +1 followers!

- Bright green tube sponge corals and smaller blue soft corals all of which are growing on a large hard coral and sections of the Antilla wreck in the foreground.
- More of the Antilla wreck in the distance.
- Our survey vessel on the surface.

About 10 weeks ago An Anemone Shrimp

This is a tiny Anemone Shrimp that was spotted last month on a dive in the Coral Triangle. These creatures can be incredibly difficult to spot on the reef, not just because they are so small (around 2 cm long), but because they are almost entirely transparent. Their transparent body gives rise to their second name - "Glass Shrimp".

About 8 weeks ago The Green Sea Turtles of Bonaire

We've arrived in Bonaire, the beautiful second leg of our Caribbean pilot surveys and we are very happy to report that the Turtle population here is particularly healthy.

Since 1991 Conservation Bonaire have been protecting the local turtle population. Now in 2013 the Green Turtles here have an average growth rate of 8cm, while the rest of the Caribbean has average annual growth rate of 3cm. Amazing results from passionate, local conservation groups - no wonder the dive tourism industry here is so strong.

About 6 weeks ago Spotted Eagle-Ray

The team are once again packing up all of our equipment as we prepare to move on to Aruba. 19 survey runs have been completed on the island of Bonaire and we've seen all sorts of wonderful marine life on our dives. Local photographer Barry Brown captured this profile of a Spotted Eagle-Ray as it swam out of the sand and into mid-water.

About 12 weeks ago Fish of the day

This stunning fish is called a Clown Triggerfish. Less common and slightly smaller than one of their closest relatives, the Titan Triggerfish, the Clown Triggerfish has the same sharp beak used for eating their favourite food - anemones.

The colours on the Clown Triggerfish make it hard to miss when viewed from side on, but they do provide some surprisingly effective camouflage when viewed from other angles. From beneath the white polkadots blend in with the bright sky, and from above the markings help the fish blend in with the reef.

About 4 weeks ago Photophere: Steve's Bommie, Great Barrier Reef

Open this #photosphere and feel what it is like to dive on Steve's Bommie, a beautiful dive site on Ribbon Reef No. 3 on the Great Barrier Reef. 

This bommie rises from over 30 metres depth in a tall cone shape and stops just beneath the surface of the sea. Corals line the entire structure and all manner of fish (the yellow ones you see here are called Spanish Flags), shrimp, crab and eel live and feed on the bommie. If you look away from the bommie and out into the deep blue you will see predatory fish like barracuda and shark. 

Steve's bommie was the favourite dive site of a local diver who passed away in a free-diving accident. There is a plaque for Steve at the 5 metre depth of this dive site.
