The American Lobster resonates with vibrant colors
When I took this photo, my hand's were as cold as can be. Matt and I were diving off the coast of Maine near the Nubble Lighthouse, and the water temperature was about 42 degrees. I myself am susceptible to the cold, especially in my digits. My fingers will stop circulating blood and will actually turn white as can be. I do my best to stay warm by wearing thick gloves, but after an hour at such a cold temperature, my fingers can become worthless. They were somehow still functioning enough to take this photo just as Matt and I were finishing up our dive.
Pictured here is an American Lobster. I find this to be a particularly fun photo due to the intensity of the color. This photo, which I have not edited at all, is vibrant with greens, reds, yellows, and even a pale blue on the lobster. This lobster was no more than ten inches long, but he caught my eye as we drifted along in just a few feet of water.
If you ever get the chance to dive, I recommend going to the Caribbean where it's nice and warm, where there are reefs with dozens of species of fish, and where corals abound. I also recommend diving along the Northeast coast of the USA. Not many people dive there, so you will have an intimate experience with the underwater world. There is also such a different ecosystem that thrives below the surface there. Whether its the hundreds of starfish, the crabs, the lobsters, the seals, or the sea lions; you are sure to experience something unique when you dip underwater.
