Blue Tang
Acanthurus coeruleus
Introduction
The Blue Tang is part of the surgeonfish Family and is known by many different names; blue barber, blue doctor, blur tang, yellow barber and yellow doctorfish are a few examples.
What is DCI?
The air you breath from your cylinder (as you should remember from your initial dive training!) is about 78% nitrogen. As you dive and the ambient pressure increases, some of that nitrogen is absorbed into your cells (I’m not going into partial pressures here, I’ll save that for another day!). As you release the pressure again, the nitrogen will come back out of your cells, make its way to your lungs by your blood stream and you breathe it out.

My Little Sis…
Thought I’d write about my sister today, because I’m very proud of what she’s doing! Her name is Shiryn and she is two years younger than me.

Harp Seal
Pagophilus groenlandicus
Introduction
Naturally this little silvery coloured seal lives to around 30 to 35 years, but they are commercially hunted for oil and fur. They are usually hunted on their breeding grounds where they are at their largest concentrations which leads to the hunt as being the largest slaughter of marine animals in the world.
