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!
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.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
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!
