Very difficult to find, and even rather rare, this octopus is visible in night diving. Measuring a few centimeters, this one hides in the corals and remains very shy.
He eats small shrimps, crabs and shells.
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!
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.
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
