He begins by diving in the clear waters of the iconic Jellyfish Lake on the island of Palau in Micronesia. Here millions of jellyfish move across the surface of the water every day, following the arc of the sun. Barry Skinstad joins Grant in a search for beautiful manta rays. They find three individuals circling as they filter-feed in the plankton-rich waters. We end off this marine podcast with a rare and privileged sighting of a fossil-like nautilus propelling itself through the water.

We begin the week by exploring the shallow waters of a mangrove forest where tiny fish swim in and out of an intricate network of mangrove roots. We then spend time with two large cuttlefish and observe their fascinating behavior. We end off the week with a night dive facilitated by a change in tides. Our marine team is captivated by some really interesting and different marine behavior under cover of darkness.
