Might sound weird, but when we dive deep, we actually spend most of the time in shallow water decompressing. And we see a lot of cool stuff! An unforgettable sight in Australia was this beautiful (and endangered) Humphead Parrotfish at Flora Reef in the Coral Sea. #ichthyology

The saddest part of my job is seeing the ecosystem I love and live to protect dying in front of my eyes… The fourth global coral bleaching event has been confirmed. calacademy.org/press/releases…

The Five-striped Hogfish (Bodianus paraleucosticticus) is common in #mesophotic ecosystems of the Western Pacific. In the Coral Sea, we found it between 80 and 120m depth, always solitary in areas of high habitat complexity. Oh and I almost forgot, it's a beauty!

Wrapping up an extraordinary scientific mission off the Great Barrier Reef with an international team of scientists and divers. 7 dives reaching 120-150 meters! The mission? Cataloging new fish species in the mesophotic zone and documenting coral bleaching 🌊🔍#GreatBarrierReef

Time for more Australian #mesophotic beauty! This is the Swallowtail Angelfish (Genicanthus melanospilos, male with bars), it's widely distributed through the western Pacific and was very common in the Coral Sea between 40 and 80m depth. #ichthyology

This might not be the most beautiful angelfish, but is a species that I've wanted to photograph for a long time. Perhaps the deeper living angelfish in the world, Centropyge abei lives in western Pacific deep reefs at 140+m depth.

Serranocirrhitus latus, the Sunburst Anthias, is the sole member of this unusual genus. It lives in loose groups, often swimming upside down in caves and ledges. While this is not a true mesophotic species, they are commonest in the upper mesophotic, between 30 to 60 m.

I've seen this fish before, but never had a chance to photograph it, until now. Meet the beautiful Chromis circumaurea, a #mesophotic damselfish widely distributed in the central and western Pacific. I photographed this one at 135m depth in the Coral Sea. #ichthyology

Cirrhilabrus roseafascia, the Rose-banded Fairy Wrasse, is a common species of fish that occurs widely across the western Pacific Ocean, but only in deep reefs. We’ve recorded this species as far down as 150 m! How BANANAS is that tail?!
