What an amazing day underwater! Normally I’m focused on the big – pelagics, sharks, bigger is always better. But the smaller marine life at the Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary captures your eye everywhere you turn – from Pederson Shrimp to Giant Caribbean sea anemones to the tiniest of Christmas tree worms. An abundance of color and texture there to please your eyes.

Is It Christmas?
