As time permits, we’re trying to get caught up on the editing of the awesome images we’ve already captured. Here’s another new one from our last visit:

Turtle Smorgasbord Anyone?
One of the challenges we dealt with during the 2013 expedition was an amazing number of jelly fish. We often had to wait for a break in the grouping of them before we could make entry on dives! Here’s one of many jelly fish shots we captured that trip:
Another Edit!
As time permits we’re continuing to work on edits for the book, and we’ve just finished another one. Aren’t the colors amazing?
Even in shallow water…
One of the things we love about Sombrero and the area around it is that even in the shallowest of water there’s awesome things to see. Check out this new edit of a hermit crab from our last expedition. He was in about a foot of water!
Christmas Visit Preview
While it wasn’t a “full” expedition, we did manage to get down to Somebrero over the Christmas break for a dive or two, and we’ve put together a quick preview of some of the images we gathered on that outing:
It’s 2015!
Happy New Year! All of us on the Underwater Sombrero project team would like to wish you a happy and prosperous new year!

Be sure to check back soon as well to see more of the images we’ve captured on our most recent short outing to the reefs just weeks ago. Here’s a quick teaser from that outing:

On this date in 1789 Congress passed legislation which provided for the establishment and support of lighthouses and other navigational aids. One of which was installed on our favorite key!
Perhaps you could help us celebrate National Lighthouse Day and help support our Underwater Sombrero project by purchasing a print of the Sombrero Lighthouse!

Flagler Barge Video
While we know we’re way behind on editing images and video from our 2013 expedition, we did get the rare opportunity to work on some. Here’s some video from one of our dives on the Flagler Barge artificial reef near Sombrero Key.
Celebrating Word Oceans Day 2014!
Happy World Oceans Day 2014 everyone! Thanks for taking a minute to check out our website. There’s lots of information on our project here so please be sure to look around.
As you go through your day today (and hopefully everyday) be sure to take a minute and reflect on how important our oceans are to life on this planet and how they touch on your lives daily, even if you’re a thousand miles from the nearest one. The ocean’s influence touches everything from the food you eat to the air you breathe to the weather you experience.
The Underwater Sombrero project team will be celebrating World Ocean Day today with a series of images from our project shared on our social media pages. We hope you’ve liked the Facebook page and are following the Twitter Feed! Watch for the hashtags: #WorldOceansDay and #OurOcean2014!
Our project is #crowdfunded, so if you think you’d like to help us out, check out our Funding Incentives page. Thanks for visiting, and again, Happy World Oceans Day!
