What a shot! Scientist @heatherkramp captures this Flying Gurnard as it swims off displaying its pectoral fins. #BlueHalo #CuracaoExpedition2015 #marinelife #fish #thatblue #dushikorsou #curacao #uwphoto #underwater #coralreed

Dedicated to microbes. Two #scientists on our team collect coral and water samples every dive to be analyzed and help tell the story of the #reefs around #Curaçao. #BlueHalo #CuracaoExpedition2015 #marinescience #scienceonthewater

Flamingo tongue! Seeing lots of these on gorgonians around #Curaçao as we survey our way around the #island. [📷 @thejoelepore] #CuracaoExpedition2015 #curacao #uwphoto #underwater #gastropod #marinelife #flamingotongue @waittfoundation

A juvenile angelfish has a stare down with our own @thejoelepore. #BlueHalo #Curacao #dushikorsou #uwphoto #angelfish #pomacanthidae #reef #underwater #diving #divecuracao #staredown @waittfoundation

Always something you can find #diving the #reefs of #Curaçao. Our Diving Safety Officer, @thejoelepore, found this little secretary blenny hiding out in a nearshore reef. #BlueHalo #CuracaoExpedition2015 #WaittExpedition #coral #reeffish #stellarhidingspot @waittfoundation

Every day, our #scientists do multiple dives looking at #coral, algae, and #fish around Curaçao. Here, Scott Miller is busy counting reef fish... Looks like lots more chromis on this one!

Half day on the water for our three dive teams. We're getting caught up on data entry and recharging before diving back into week two. #BlueHalo #CuracaoExpedition2015 #Curaçao #dushikorsou

Planning our next day of the #CuracaoExpedition2015. #TeamWaitt @waittfoundation

Brilliant #sunsets here on #Curaçao. #dushikorsou #sunset #sunsetonthewater #lovecitacao

Two of the three boats we have for the #CuracaoExpedition2015. These teams are heading off to the north shore to take advantage of good weather and wind. Good luck out there! #BlueHalo #curacao #korsou #teamwaitt @waittfoundation

Saw this girl cruising by! Great way to end the day during our #WaittExpedition in Curaçao. [📷 @thejoelepore] #BlueHalo #CuracaoExpedition2015 #seaturtle #turtle #uwphoto #scuba #marinelife #science @waittfoundation

#TeamWaitt. During the #CuracaoExpedition2015, we have 12 scientists from 8 different institutions donating their time (along with a fantastic crew) to help collect as much and the best #data we can to better understand near shore waters around the island. #BlueHalo #inthenameofscience #WaittExpedition #boat #sciencetalk #diveboat #curacao #dushikorsou

The team is out for another day of fish and benthic surveys and #diving around #Curaçao. Can't wait to see what we find today! [📷 @thejoelepore] #curacao #korsou #diving #uwphoto #marinescienceinaction #CuracaoExpedition2015 @waittfoundation

End to another day on the water. #CuracaoExpedition2015 #dushikorsou #caribbean @waittfoundation

Successful first day of the #CuracaoExpedition2015. Over the next two weeks, #TeamWaitt will be #diving at approximately 150 sites in the waters around Curaçao. At each site, data will be collected on corals, algae, fish, invertebrates, and water quality. @waittfoundation #BlueHalo #scubadiving #diveflag #divecuracao #lovecuracao #korsou

Last night in port. The #CuracaoExpedition2015 begins tomorrow! #BlueHalo #Willemstad #curacao #korsou #dushikorsou @waittfoundation

More prep for our #WaittExpedition. We're thrilled to be working with the rest of #TeamWaitt in Curaçao again! #CuraçaoExpedition2015 #BlueHalo @waittfoundation
