This jackfish feeds on fish at night, we even saw it attack a moray eel with a group of about 3 individuals.
Because of its color, this jackfish is very beautiful and is easily distinguished from other species.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
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!
