Inside the 2027 Underwater Photography Desk Calendar
Each monthly page puts a captioned photograph on the left and the month grid on the right. You can check a date and enjoy the image in the same glance. The arrangement gives the photography its own space, making this desk calendar an option for someone who wants art close to hand while keeping the month visible.
The collection moves between small reef residents, larger animals and scenes that include a diver. That variety is part of the appeal: you can have a favorite photograph without choosing one picture to look at all year. The cover shows a diver rising in a blue cave opening, alongside the title and Cobi Hay Yacobi’s name.
January through March
January: Moon jellyfish in sunlight, Red Sea. The year opens with a translucent subject. Moon jellies belong to the genus Aurelia and have fine tentacles and frilled oral arms. Consider this page an invitation to look for the delicate forms that can be easy to miss when thinking about underwater wildlife.
February: Red Sea anemonefish, Red Sea. This fish is also known as the twoband anemonefish, with two pale bands across a yellow-orange body. It lives with host anemones, whose tentacles provide shelter. February gives the desk calendar a small reef resident with a close connection to its surroundings.
March: Caribbean reef shark, Jardines de la Reina, Cuba. A member of the requiem shark family, this species has a sturdy body, rounded snout and long pectoral fins. Its presence changes the scale of the collection after two smaller subjects. The first three pages offer a useful preview of that variety.
April through June
April: Orchid dottyback, Red Sea. This small fish is known for its purple body and dark eye stripe. Its scientific name is Pseudochromis fridmani. The species lives around reefs, often near vertical rock faces and beneath overhangs, with nearby holes providing shelter. April brings another compact reef resident into the year’s sequence.
May: Day octopus, Red Sea. The name comes from its habit of hunting during daylight. Camouflage involves changes in skin texture as well as color, helping it blend with rocks, corals or algae. The May desk calendar view offers a different kind of animal to spend a month noticing.
June: Napoleon wrasse, Palau. Also called the humphead wrasse, this large reef fish has fleshy lips and a developing forehead hump as an adult. The species’ wavy body markings are reflected in its scientific name, Cheilinus undulatus. This month takes the collection to Palau and introduces another recognizable fish profile.
July through September
July: Bluespotted ribbontail ray, Red Sea. A ray is a cartilaginous fish, related to sharks. This species has a broad, rounded pectoral disc and a flattened body, with its eyes above and mouth underneath. July brings that different body shape into the desk calendar’s mix of marine life.
August: Coral hind and cleaner wrasse, Red Sea. A cleaning partnership makes this month especially interesting. Cleaner wrasse remove parasites from other fish, gaining food while their visitors benefit from the service. The pairing offers a reason to look at how animals share reef space, as well as their individual appearances.
September: Regal angelfish, Red Sea. The page preview shows the fish photograph alongside the date grid. Use this view to judge the balance between image and practical calendar space. It is a useful example if you are choosing the desk calendar for an office where you will see it throughout the day.
October through December
October: Yellowmouth moray, Red Sea. This elongated reef fish is also called the starry moray, Gymnothorax nudivomer. It occurs in the Indo-Pacific, including the Red Sea. The subject adds another distinct body form to the collection, continuing a year that moves among very different kinds of marine animals.
November: Blue-spotted toby, Red Sea. This small pufferfish has blue spots and short lines across its body, with lines spreading around the eyes. Its scientific name is Canthigaster cyanospilota. November gives you a reason to notice fine markings as the desk calendar approaches its final month.
December: Emperor angelfish and a diver, Red Sea. The adult emperor angelfish has narrow yellow stripes across a blue to purplish body and a broad dark eye band. Ending with fish and diver brings a human presence into the collection, a fitting subject for someone whose own year includes time underwater.
A place on your desk
The desk calendar measures 10 x 5 in (25 x 13 cm), a horizontal format to consider beside a monitor, on a home office shelf or near a reading spot. Before choosing its position, measure the available space and check the view from your usual seat. Keep the photo and dates clear of taller objects.
The May mockup shows the desk calendar standing on a wooden desk. Use it to imagine the photograph among your own everyday objects. A place you already look toward, such as beside your notebook, can make the monthly image part of your routine without needing a separate wall display.
The paper is 250 gsm with a satin finish, and spiral binding runs across the top. To choose a wall format instead, compare the 2027 Underwater Photography Wall Calendar. The desk calendar collection is the place to browse this tabletop format.
A gift with more to discover
A desk calendar gives a diver or ocean lover a photograph to return to between trips. Consider it for a friend’s workspace or your own desk at home. At $29.99 USD, this one offers a sequence of subjects to explore, so your choice can reflect a love of underwater life as a whole.
For a closer look at May’s animal, read the Monterey Bay Aquarium day octopus account. If March becomes a favorite, explore the Caribbean Reef Shark Canvas Print as another way to enjoy that species. These are useful next stops when a monthly photograph starts a new interest.
Your desk calendar is printed to order in the USA. Shipping is free to the USA, Canada and Australia; shipping to other eligible countries is charged at checkout. Preview the monthly subjects, choose the format that fits your space and give your plans a little ocean company.
