The yellowline arrow crab (Stenorhynchus seticornis) is mainly a nocturnal scavenger, but is also occasionally carnivorous, preying on small feather duster worms and other tiny animals of the coral reefs. They also tend to hang out near anemones and cleaning shrimp.
.
We see them at almost all of our dive sites in BVI. Have you seen one before?

Tarpon are large fish of the genus Megalops. There are two species of Megalops; one native to the Atlantic, and the other to the Indo-Pacific oceans. While diving in the BVI, we will only encounter the Atlanticus. Megalops Atlanticus is found on the western Atlantic coast from Virginia to Brazil, throughout the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, and throughout the Caribbean.
Tarpon are also found along the eastern Atlantic coast from Senegal to South Angola. They survive in brackish waters (mix of salt and fresh waters) and habitats with low oxygen content due to their swim bladders with which they can breathe air. They roll as they swim, coming up for a sip of air every few minutes. The habitat of the tarpon varies greatly with the developmental stage they are in.

While only microscopic at birth, tarpon may grow to lengths of more than eight feet and weigh more than 280 pounds. The average tarpon weighs about 75 to 85 pounds. A fish more than 100 pounds is generally a female, but no one is sure why these larger catches are not equally distributed. They grow very slowly, after a rapid initial growth of about 12 inches in the first year.

Tarpon take 8-10 years to reach sexual maturity and it is believed that tarpon in BVI can live 60 to 70 years. The oldest tarpon in captivity lived to be 63 years old. Their habitats are characteristically warm, shallow, dark bodies of water with sandy mud bottoms. They also find their way into creeks, channels, and streams.
As they progress from the juvenile stage to adulthood, they move back to the open waters of the ocean, though many may remain in brackish and freshwater habitats. 

We typically see tarpon near Cooper Island and off of Scrub Island when the silversides are schooling near the rocks. We love their big smiles and watching them swim with our guests!

We never tire of swimming with turtles!
.
Hawksbill turtles are fascinating creatures that help protect reefs by feeding primarily on sponges that can out-compete corals.

It’s World Ocean Day!
One Ocean - One Climate - One Future Together

Recently, world leaders made a global commitment to protect 30% of our blue planet by 2030 (30x30).

To create a healthy ocean with abundant wildlife and to stabilize the climate, it’s critical that 30% of our planet’s lands, waters, and ocean are protected. Leading scientists have determined a healthy ocean is a critical part of the solution to the climate and biodiversity crises.

By supporting 30×30, we can protect our planet’s life support systems – specifically the interconnected issues of ocean, climate, and biodiversity. Currently, less than 17% of land and 8% of the ocean worldwide is protected.

The good news is, due to the efforts of the growing global 30×30 movement, including those involved in the World Ocean Day network, our nations’ leaders made a global commitment to 30×30 during the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP15) in December 2022.

With your help, and by working with a growing network of youth and organizational leaders worldwide, together we will continue to strengthen the global movement to protect at least 30% of our blue planet by 2030 and safeguard our future.

How can you help? Donate to conservation causes, help in a beach or shoreline clean-up, minimize your electricity usage, carry a reusable water bottle when traveling, and practice good buoyancy underwater. You can make a difference, every bit helps!

At Dive BVI, we minimized our plastic usage by installing water filtration at our facility and no longer use disposable cups on our trips. Bring your bottle and we’ll fill you up!

Take a dive with us at Seal Dog Rock! One of our favorite sites, this pinnacle is a great spot to look for sharks, rays and schooling fish. Make sure you bring a light to check out the overhangs and creature-filled cracks! And always have that camera ready!!!

“There’s nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the surface of the ocean itself, except that when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize that you’ve been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent.” - Dave Barry

We couldn’t agree more! We love sharing our beautiful BVI waters with all of you!

What a joy to have @brookslaich and @katrintanja explore our magical, underwater backyard with us! 🌊🐠🐟
・・・
Came across this little tunnel while we were out snorkeling with @divebvi!

These first few snorkel locations have been exceptional - tons of vibrant coral and marine life!

Captured this with my @gopro Hero 11, love how it grabs the colors underwater!
