So cool! My friend went diving once but I've never been. She said it was incredible and got a couple of shots of a tiny great white shark! It sounds like so much fun!

The pictures are great, I love seeing these beautiful fish in their natural habitat <3

Thanks very much, I love diving and the yellow puffer was about a foot or so long munching on the corals. I actually free dive though I dont use equipment I find its a bit claustrophobic with all that kit!

I freedive too, was practicing in the Redsea with some Egyptian Navy Seal, he taught me diving and breathing techniques while free diving. I got down to about 13 Metres :D

You guys are very fortunate to get the privilege of seeing these fish in the wild. I've scuba dived once, but it was in a bay close to home. Didn't really see anything interesting.
