Jack’nJelly; TL about one inch. From last week’s blackwater dive. Sorta slow but quite a few of these little guys swimming around encased in their protective (I guess…) thimble jellies.

Lots of little goodies last night in the crystal clear water of the Gulf Stream about six miles offshore Palm Beach. In two hours, the current carried the group of divers eight miles, and in this midnight express ride through the cosmos of the black water universe, I ran into this gorgeous little creature, a tiny Tripodfish that sat still just long enough for the clumsy photographer (me) to take one decent head-on shot. Diving at night in the raging current reminds of the old Kansas hit, “Dust in the Wind, all we are is dust in the wind.” Enjoy! © Michael Patrick O’Neill / www.mpostock.com #cosmos #blackwater #florida #palmbeach #ocean #nature #deepsea #fish #cosmos #abyss #nikon #macro
Nice to see Palm Beach County, FL over the last several years (and presently, too) the focus of several big nature documentaries concentrating on the mullet and blacktip shark migration, among other topics. Happy to work on a few of them as well. Here’s a drone clip I filmed for one back in 2018. I simply parked my Inspire 2 over the swell and let things happen. Blacktips were taking advantage of the breaking waves to pummel the baitfish. If you watch carefully, you can see one shark ripping across the screen chasing the mullet, which jump like popcorn out of the way. Lots and lots of fun.

On this day: April 1, 2017 - schooling blacktips in the shallows of Singer Island. Unfortunately it seems we don’t get days like this anymore thanks to dirty water from pollution and beach re-nourishment.
Ocean Drifter: A Seahorse (2 inches TL), anchored to a little bit of sargassum seaweed, rides the Gulf Stream Current late at night offshore Palm Beach, FL last week.
