Pic of the Day: Costa Rica’s underwater wildlife

Much of Costa Rica’s incredible biodiversity lives underwater.

This picture is part of “Costa Rica Blue: The Underwater Guide,” a book that calls itself “the definitive travel guide to Costa Rica’s underwater world.” Click on the above photo for a higher-resolution version.
