    Vintage Rebreathers

    A few from Taha'a, French Polynesia

    Here are a few fishes that I also posted to iNaturalist, but the iNaturalist community has yet to figure them out. These were at the Coral Garden near Le Taha'a by Pearl Resort. I couldn't even get this one to family: Black parrotfishes? Closer view of (I think) the same kind of...

    That's awesome. I always love seeing that places like Antarctica, which look like barren ice deserts, have their own diversity of colorful marine life.

    That sticker really highlights the difficulty English-speakers can have with the Romance languages in particular -- specifically, rearranging our thought patterns around word order. The lower arc of words says "Divisione Produzione Articoli Sportivi Subacquei in Gomma" In English translation...

    Seasickness

    That differs from what I've been finding: Can you get scopolamine patch over counter? I can't seem to find it around here. All of these medications seem to have the potential to cause drowsiness -- Bonine has the warning, "May make you sleepy. Use caution when driving."
