The shapeless dark hues of blue and violet in the distance sent Sarah’s imagination into overdrive visualising what could be lurking in the deep, watching. Rock formations in the distance, faintly illuminated by her dive torch played tricks on her mind. She would often run wild with her imagination on these deep dives she does for her research on sperm whales. Running with thoughts like if the coelacanths which were thought long extinct, aren’t, is there any other thought to be extinct species hiding down in the Gulf of Mexico?

Being watched in the Ocean
I've been diving a lot. South Africa, the Canary Islands, around the UK. I must have about 80 hours logged. So I'm no stranger to it. Yet one dive I had whilst on holiday in the Maldives last October was very different and eerie. Thinking back to it still gives me this chilling gut feeling, even a year later.

Face to face with the Sea
The sound of an alarm woke Tom up from his sleep. He sighed and rolled over to reach out for his phone to hit snooze. As he opened his eyes, confusion hit. That wasn't the sound of his phone alarm, he thought. That alarm was something different.

The best Slasher Movie isn't a Slasher movie.
Can you honestly say that the Alien franchise doesn't scare the liquids out of you? That when faced with a facehugger which jumps onto a persons face and penetrates their mouth. Forcible orally rapes said mouth and pumps alien eggs down the poor sods throat to be gestated in a human host stomach. Only for the Alien offspring to hatch later on by carving its way out/exploding out of its host's chest. Can you say that you're perfectly calm and collected with that idea?

Interesting facts about Shark Biology
Sharks in some form or another have been in our oceans for up to 450 million years. They are natural predators, with a great diversity amongst them. There are over 500 Species of sharks, and each of them has carved their specialist way of surviving in their native habitat. From extended tails that whip and stun prey, to bodies designed to blend in resulting in the ultimate ambush predators. Sharks are the best at what they do. So why is that? From a biological perspective evolved traits have allowed them to carve their way to the top. So what's so interesting about their biology? Read on and you might learn something new.

Interesting facts about Sea Kelp biology
Kelp, or often referred to as sea kelp, is a type of algae or seaweed. Though it looks like an underwater tree, kelp is a type of brown algae and belongs to several species of the order Laminariales.

7 reasons why YOU should care about the ocean
The ocean is so much more than just a large body of water that covers 80% of the surface of this planet. The ocean shields us, helps us, feeds us, allows us to travel. It's the reason humanity has advanced so far from those troglodytes in a cave to Gen Z's typing on their macs. It's where we began; it's where we (fingers cross for underwater cities) might end up.

Is Eating Tuna worth the consequences?
Is eating tuna worth it? I say no, but I know others who say different. So here are some of the reasons I don't eat tuna and why I think you shouldn't eat tuna either. You can thank me later, or you can cast them aside. Either way, it's up to you.
