Watch out for your head!

Every time seeing this image makes me wince. I know from personal experience that the spikes of a Sea Urchin are super sharp. Once I managed to hit my knee on one, which caused several punctures in my dry suit (the Sea Urchin was not harmed in the incident). Poor Randy at Blue Water Aquatics spent the better part of a day trying to locate the holes, since they were in an area where there are two layers of material. Best $20 I've ever used to have a professional take care of business...

The little fish is called a Blackeyed Goby. I always sense a certain level of sadness from these little fellas as they look around with their black eyes. It's like they really would like to be a giant whale shark, rather than tiny little themselves. I say look at the bright side - at least you are not bothered by divers trying to hitch a ride on your back.
