Hard to take pictures because very shy, the juvenile emperor angelfish is different from the adult who doesn't have the same shapes or the same colors.
Each diver is happy to meet it, we don't say it's very rare but enough to notify it, this one being very shy, it hides it very quickly!
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
Turtles are in economy mode when they are sleeping. If they are woken during night, they may not have enough air to return to surface.
So, please be careful during night dives!
