For roughly ten straight months out of the year, you can see hammers here in Japan as they migrate along the western pacific current flowing north. Some great spots to see them are Yonaguni, Okinawa, just off the coast of Kyushu, off the tip of the Izu peninsula, or even from an easy shore dive off of either IzuOshima or Toshima or NiiJima or HachijoJima.

Toucans are some of my favorite birds! Did you know they need special diets? They can develop hemochromatosis (iron storage disease) very easily, and therefore, need to keep very low amounts of iron in their diets.

It was great meeting you guys yesterday. I remember you telling me about how dolphins can shut off half their brain to sleep. I found that little factoid to be fascinating, and will definitely look for more information to read up on that soon.

I saw Mantas from a distance on our trip to French Poly but nothing like this. I wonder what happened to the Left flap (I don't know what they are actually called) on that one. As always, thanks for sharing.

@nyfrogman 15 күн бұрын

The cephalic fin on this manta may have been amputated some years ago. I believe that this manta had the fin badly damaged by fishing line and it was amputated by a diver. The manta recovered nicely and has been fine ever since.

Wow just watched your video amazing, I'm looking into the Cocos for a possibility for next year and was considering June that just sold it for me. You saw so much. Were you there early June ? Can you tell me the water temp ? Did you wear a 5mm ? Do you use a GoPro ? Cant believe how close the hammerheads came to you were you on a rebreather ? Just amazing footage Im sold awesome, thanks so much for sharing love it :)

@nyfrogman Ай бұрын

Thanks. I'm glad that you liked it. We had a very good trip. We went in mid-June, boarding on June 13. The water temp was pretty warm until you reached the deep thermocline (at about 100 ft). It was high 70's above the thermocline and low to mid 70's below it. A 5 mm was fine. I brought a hooded vest, just in case, but never needed it. I used a GoPro hero 11 for video and a Canon G7X for stills. The hammers will come close if you stay still and control your breathing. They don't really like bubbles. I didn't use a rebreather.

@nyfrogman Ай бұрын

Thanks. The shark with the damaged dorsal in the video is called "Rescue Shark". She had a rope wrapped around her head some years ago and some divers were able to remove it. Her mouth, however, is still partially open and she cannot fully close it. Laverne is still around as well. I haven't seen her in the past two months or so, but I've been away for a good portion of that time.

Yes. They put out baits and create a slick for the sharks to follow to the boat. The white pvc has sardines in it to help keep the sharks around.

@nyfrogman 3 ай бұрын

That's often the case when you have lots of divers visiting the cleaning station. You don't want people in and around the station, causing the Mantas or cleaner fish to leave. Since i was alone at the site, I kept far enough away as not to disturb either. I stayed still when the Mantas decided to approach closer.

Thanks. There is a spot at one of our local dive sites that I refer to as the turtle scratching post. It's a small rock formation where turtles frequently scratch against the rocks to try to remove some barnacles. I assume that there are other favorite spots around, where other turtles do the same.
