Dogfish

Who wanted to know about dogfish?? The name dogfish is applied to a number of small sharks found in the northeast Atlantic, Pacific, and Mediterranean.

Pics from the Foster

I'm back in Auburn and finally able to post some pictures. Check out my album of the 'best of the best' from everyones pictures on the cruise. Let me know if you have any questions!

I had an amazing time and could have stayed out at sea for another couple months. Life is quite enjoyable when you're surrounded by like-minded people, have chefs to cook for you, beautiful sunsets every night, and the ability to dive as much as you want, whenever you want. Now I remember why I chose this field. Sometimes you get swept up in the work and forget about what you're working for.
