 Black Point Sculling Crab Good evening friends, here’s another new find from Bonaire. I found this on a night dive I did in the shallows in front of Eden Beach, this is a male and female Black Point Sculling Crab. I am guessing this is a mating ritual like we see here at night with our crabs but boy the female sure is small? If anyone has any different info or has other theories on this please let us know. While shooting this romantic scene I quickly noticed that the male on top was very protective of his little lady and wasn’t about to let her out of his sight. If you look close you can see the male holding the female and also look at the males rear legs, they are like paddles on the ends these are used for swimming, cool huh? I went here in search of carrier crabs but after Omar everything has changed.
Not much to report we both worked today and the dogs stayed home and relaxed. I did do a short dive this afternoon out on our reef to check out the seahorse’s that are still here after a year or so, it’s too bad they are black that’s the worst color to photograph. After work I went to Moon Resort and did an underwater photo-shoot in their pool for a promotional flyer they needed, that was quite an adventure. A girlfriend of mine that I used to work with was the model and she tossed in a broken record player and ear-phones to create a pool party type atmosphere on the bottom of the pool. On the count of three we dove to the bottom time after time trying to get the right shot with her pretending to be an underwater disk jockey and lots of people swimming above us for the party portion of the photo. Needless to say we caused quite a riot and within minutes we had everyone gathering around the pool to watch, it was a lot of fun.
Off to bed, talk to you all tomorrow, Barry
