  • Jonathan teams up with Jeff Nelson, an expert critter spotter, to dive the Blue Heron Bridge, known for the best "muck diving" in the USA. Located in Riviera Beach, Florida, the Blue Heron Bridge is an easy shore dive filled with an amazing diversity of small marine animals--if you can find them! In this episode, Jonathan is searching for one of the rarest animals seen there--the Stargazer fish.

    The Blue Heron Bridge is truly a special place but unfortunately it is one of the many places that is getting too popular and too overcrowded with divers doing bad things. I dive this location about 3 times per month and constantly see poor diving behavior: finning the bottom, grabbing the reefs and structures; but also unethical behavior as well: using muck sticks to stir up an animal for a photograph. I wish more divers would follow good behavior and remember to be passive observers of the environment instead of being so intrusive. But I guess that is a lot to ask for.

      Yes, it's similar. Fire worms are marine bristle worms. They look kinda fuzzy, but that's not soft fuzz...it's actually tiny needles, and they are venomous. So contact with them produces a painful rash that takes a while to heal. Definitely not something you want to touch!

I heard they are good for eating but this was small, and there is no point in killing fish you don't eat. Some caught them in Jersey. I went in the water recently and there were a lot of smooth dogfish sharks. Nice to see. I saw also plenty of burrfish and pufferfish this summer. Pretty interesting and easy to fitm, especially the burrfish.
