warm water diving
25 Crustaceans A
Claws, antennae, and armor-plated bodies — this underwater diving video kicks off a four-part series on Caribbean invertebrates, starting with the region’s Crustaceans. From spiny lobsters to colorful reef crabs, these critters are some of the most rewarding finds for divers who slow down and look closely.
This first installment covers genus and species identification for Caribbean Crustaceans, highlighting their armored exoskeletons, antennae, and the crevices and ledges they call home. This footage captures them tucked into reef structure during the day, exactly where you’ll want to look on your next warm water diving trip.
What you’ll see:
Genus and species ID for Caribbean Crustaceans (lobsters, crabs, and relatives)
Crevice and ledge habitat where these critters typically shelter
Close-up footage of antennae, claws, and shell patterning
Behavioral notes on daytime hiding vs. nighttime activity
Reef structure footage from classic Caribbean warm water diving conditions
Crustaceans are some of the best subjects for underwater photography in the Caribbean — their detail, color, and texture reward a careful, patient eye. This is the first of four videos covering the full range of invertebrate life you can find tucked into Caribbean reefs.
