Go beyond the basic compass course! 🧭 Advanced underwater navigation involves search patterns, dead reckoning, and leading dives in low visibility. Master these skills to explore more complex sites with confidence.

Your Christmas gift came early… and it’s another Friday Fun Fact!

The Sheepshead fish has a mouth full of human-like teeth, including molars! 😁 These chompers crush crabs & scrape barnacles off pilings. They're so clever, they're famously difficult for anglers to hook.

The Yellow Garden Eel is a shy, mesmerizing sight! 🌾 These slender eels live in colonies, swaying in the current as they feed. Approach too fast and they'll vanish into the sand in a synchronized retreat. Pure underwater magic.

The Barred Hamlet is the reef's shy show-off! 🎭 This striking fish is a simultaneous hermaphrodite. When mating, pairs perform elegant dances at dusk, taking turns releasing eggs & sperm. A true marvel!

Master the current! 🌊 Drift diving lets you fly underwater, but safety is key. Always deploy an SMB, master your buoyancy, and stay close to your buddy. Go with the flow, not against it!
