Have you seen a silky shark before? They have a small rounded dorsal fin and black tips on the underside of their pectoral fins. They are a common oceanic shark species spending most of their time out in deep water far from land. They feed mostly on pelagic bony fish but as they are pelagic predators they feed opportunistically. Unfortunately this is a species that commonly has interactions with commercial fishing and is found as bycatch.

Manta rays with hover over the reef in specific areas to get cleaned. Here in Hawaii Hawaiian Cleaned Wrasses clean the manta rays at local cleaning stations up and down the Kona coast. These wrasse will even go in the mantas mouths and remove parasites from their gills!

The bait ball had been truly amazing lately! Watching these fish scatter to evade the presence of something larger from other fish to divers is always so interesting and every day it’s different! This day the fish were particularly balled up and stayed that way even while diving through the fish!

We always love to encounter these dolphins when we’re searching offshore! Here in Hawaii these dolphins are known to even be be found with schooling ahi. Because of this they are commonly followed by fishing boats when they’re closer to the island. They can travel up to 300 miles offshore!

How oceanic white tips like to say hi! With the one of the highest brain to body ratios out of all shark species oceanic white tips tend to be very curious and thorough with their investigatiosn! Pelagic shark species are commonly known for their bold personalities. Spending all their time in deep blue waters they must make their presence known.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎💙
Everyone take some time today to show your appreciation for our wonderful home! The oceans are the worlds largest carbon sink so it is crucial that they are cared for to help our planet as a whole. They also boast a large percentage of the worlds biodiversity and provide the planet with many ecosystem services. So saving our oceans is saving Earth as a whole, not to mention the oceans cover 70% of the Earth themselves!

The akule school has returned and it’s massive! This ball is made up of thousands of fish that all group up and swim together acting as one to make themselves more formidable against oncoming predators. Their swirling movements are mesmerizing and even dizzying when you see them up close!

Oceanic white tips have unfortunately faced massive population decreases in the regions they are found across the globe. Up to 99% in some parts of the world like the Gulf of Mexico. This is primarily due to being caught as bycatch in the commercial fishing industry. We are very lucky to still have them here in Kona even semi regularly!
