A few stingy thingys from Greenland 🇬🇱

Catablema vesicarium (no common name I know of), jellyfish-adjacent gelatinous critter

Rugose Anemone, Hormathia nodosa, suction cupped to a steep underwater wall.

A snailfish! 🐌🐠

This cutie was suction-cupped to some sieve kelp in a fjord in Greenland earlier this month (snailfish have modified fins on their belly that form a suction cup). While I was checking this little dude out, she got spooked and started swimming, so I flagged down Kayvon Malek that she was swimming towards him! I did make sure she was settled onto more kelp before leaving the area though. Likely an undescribed species of snailfish!

Escaped the Alaska heat wave and found the Juneau bubblenetters!

Only about 60 humpback whales in the whole world are known to feed in this highly cooperative manner, and we’ve been so lucky that two groups have been hanging out in Juneau for the last few weeks! And thanks to Jayleen's Alaska Whale Watching for taking a group of locals out to see them! 🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋

Atlantic Spiny Lumpsucker (probably)

On a stunning cove dive in East Greenland, Kayvon Malek and I immediately found mating sea angels (we’re 2 for 2 finding them as a team in Greenland!) but I was on the hunt for lumpsuckers. This tiny fish is covered in basically a shell, with modified fins on her belly that are basically a suction cup. They’re absolutely adorable and such a weird fish, was so happy to find this one swaying in the kelp!

🤍 🐋

This baby humpback whale breached into the sunset and when I went back to the images, I saw this heart on her belly! Whales with hearts on them is just one more reason I love Alaska so much. Also got to watch this whale with my parents who got to come onboard with me, so it was extra special!

Sea angels are one of my favorite invertebrates (and I feel like that’s saying a lot). Free-swimming sea slugs, they just have a commanding and stunning presence for an animal that is just an inch long. Just one of the many gelatinous critters found on a dive last month with Kayvon Malek

These are no angels though. Fierce predators of the tiny world, they have 8 tentacles that live in their head that deploy to capture prey. Aataaliannguaq has been known to Kalaallit Nunaat since time immemorial and there is even a lullaby about them going to sleep for winter.

I often ask my dive buddies if there’s anything in particular they’re keen to find on our dive, just to put the good critter vibes out there before we descend. This past week, Justin Hofman wanted to see Candy-Striped Shrimp! 🍬🦐 These beautiful shrimp have a relationship with their anemone home just like clownfish do. Shrimp get protection, anemone gets a cleaning team.

I now think we should put other vibes out before a dive, since on approach to this one, the water was BROWN. We were able to pull off this dive in super dark (midday night dive), zero visibility conditions (never saw Justin, just his lights), with a ripping current. BUT we did find shrimp! 😂

One of the most beautiful wall dives I’ve done in Greenland 🇬🇱

Amazing kelp cover, lots of invertebrates in the places where the kelp thins, and lots of drifters on this 30+meter wall in 75ft viz with Kayvon Malek

Don’t ask us what the next dive was like 😂
