I Am A Paddle Board Instructor And Eco Tour Guide

His skin was slimy and his teeth felt like sandpaper. I got the hook out of his mouth and untangled the line and got the fishing pole out of the way. Then, I went to the dock shed and grabbed the scale and the blaze orange fish holder. Once I returned, we hooked the holder onto the catfish’s mouth and held him up. Then we got the scale and attached it to the holder and weighed the fish. It was twenty one pounds. I was ecstatic because I had never caught a fish bigger than fourteen pounds. I was super happy.

In the article “What’s at the Bottom of the Ocean?” authored by Samantha Larson, it states that there is more to see on the ocean floor than meets the eye. David Gruber, the main oceanographer in the ocean exploration team, has discovered hundreds of unknown species and has even helped with breakthroughs in medical research. “The deep sea is a beautiful and foreign place, with many different creatures and geological structures,” Gruber expressed. When he was traveling underwater in the South Pacific, he witnessed tens of thousands of tiny flashlight fish swimming in 20 foot waters. He also discovered that these flashlight fish use biofluorescence to communicate with each other by absorbing blue light and turning

The Ocean is a miraculous place filled to the brim with foreign creatures and wondrous wildlife. From the Great Orcas of the Antarctic waters to the minuscule plankton, these marine life conquer the ocean's depths, but it's not just the creatures that reside here. Coral occupy their fair share of space upon the ocean's floor filling the waters with their glamour and residential charm for those in search of shelter.

When your life revolves around the sea as ours does, you hear stories. Stories of deep sea monsters, mermaids, giant squids right out of a Moby Dick novel, are just some of the tales we’ve heard. Most stories about mysterious creatures we shrug off as ‘not bloody likely’, but others enter the realm of real possibility.

We over around the lake a lot because how we weren't really hardly getting any bites on our fishing pools. And I had only gotten one bite and when I pulled it in the fish was only a little bit bigger than an orange. But it was

The deepest depths of the ocean are unfathomable, no one knows what creatures lurk down there.

I first encountered the ocean in 1958; I was ten. Being a map enthusiast, I knew exactly where Florida was, and I was excited to swim in the salty Atlantic Ocean. Born and raised next to frigid Lake Michigan I understood a large body of water as well as a sandy beach, but no book or encyclopedia prepared me for understanding the flavor or immensity of an ocean and its adjoining shore. Arriving at the beach I raced across the hot pure white sand to keep my feet from burning, stopping in wonder when I saw ocean waves gently caressing a seashore that seemed to go on and on forever. I knew I was somewhere special.

My brother picked it up and held it in front of me so Jay could take a picture of it. I remember feeling so accomplished with myself, the adrenaline rush I got is something I have never experienced before in my life and I really enjoyed the feeling. I smiled, as my brother threw it back in the water. “Good job Kenz, that was amazing!” My brother said as he high fived me. “You’re right,” I began, “Maybe fishing isn’t so bad after all.” I laughed as I went over to my pole and started to re bait it and did so the rest of the night, but may I say, that shark wasn’t just the catch of the night, but the catch of my life; hooking me on

An entire new world, different from our own exists beneath the surface of our oceans. This life is full of color, shapes, sizes, wonder, and even darkness. Much of this life has yet to be explored but we still know that beneath the waves exist the most beautiful creatures and the most bizarre. Magical areas such as the coral reef and mysterious areas such as the depths of the ocean are homes to over 700,000 species that live in the ocean. This includes the eighty percent of the ocean that has yet to be explored. Even though there may be separate oceans on this planet, they are still interconnected by a body of salt water. No area of the ocean is the same, which brings us to the wonderful fact that so many different species are able to flourish

The Ocean is 70 percent of the earth surface, humans have explored less than five percent of the ocean, and is home to innumerable amount of living organisms. One of its oldest inhabitants is the Cheloniidae dates back to the Triassic era, roughly 250 million years ago, (Wang et al.,

The light just attracted me like a magnet. Watching it very closely, It swam downwards. It disappeared under the large coral ahead of me. I flapped my flippers as fast as I possibly could trying to get to it before it disappeared. When I got there I weaved through the holes in the coral looking for the creature. In the middle of the coral, holely structure there sat a deep cave. I am talking bottomless. This cave would have been completely dark, but there swam the flickering light. I wasn’t sure if I should go down, but my curiosity made my body push forward. I slowly swam down the midnight, spooky, bottomless cave. I scavenged thru my suit for a flashlight. I pulled out a small knife, an extra pair of goggles and a underwater camera, but no flashlight. I checked out my pair of goggles to see if it had a headlight built into it, but it didn’t. I glared down at the extra pair of goggles. This one had a headlight built into it. I pressed the button on the side hoping it would turn on. Light shot out of it blinding me. I shined it down the cave to see a two way in the cave. I decided to turn the light off so I could see the

I thought it was just seaweed but it had a little more weight to it. It wasn’t seaweed. My grandpa told me to reel. About 5 seconds later I caught my first fish. This was huge. I’ve been waiting months to finally go out fishing with my grandpa on his boat and catch a fish. “No big deal, I thought.” My grandpa then took out his camera so my mom could have a picture. He taught me how to grab the fish in a way so the backfin didn't cut me. I was going to try to grab the fish but I couldn't. It looked to slimey, and I didn't want the backfin to cut me. When he took the picture I was holding the string of the pole a good length away from my body so the fish wouldn't attack me with its killer fin. My grandpa didn't mind that I was afraid of an 8-inch bluegill, he was just happy that I caught my first fish. I was happy too, my patience paid

At Fragatele Bay it is a small beach and the water around the coral is very shallow. I was really excited because I had read a lot about the exotic fish here and really wanted to see one. I couldn't wait to make a requite to snorkeling since the last time when I was terrified by the fish. We got suited up in our gear and got into the water as fast as the instructors could keep up with us. The fish that I saw were the butterfly fish, Damselfish, and the parrot fish, the prettiest of all. None of the fish I saw were comestible because we were in a National Park. They were all so stunning and the way they moved reminded me of a cryptic message. They all had a mysterious glow to them.

It was a cool windy summer morning in Clear Lake, RMNP, and my family and friends decided to rent a pontoon boat, to enjoy a day out on the lake. We planned on going on the lake for around five hours so we packed up some delicious sandwiches and drinks, then headed down to the marina to rent a pontoon boat. As we get to the marina we look out onto the water to see the waves vigorously lashing against the shore. We then approach the guy at the marina and ask to rent a pontoon boat for 9. He then shows us to our boat and we load up all of our stuff on to the boat. By that time the wind started to pick up a bit causing the waves to get even larger than before, I could say I have a minor fear of boats but I really enjoy just getting my tan on

One day, Elaine and Jacqueline were watching on television an old movie called The Lagoon Creature. The so-called creature, the mysterious man-fish, was half amphibious, half human, and resembled the creature their mother had told them about. Elaine was squirming with fear, although Jacqueline was laughing.
