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!
We can hear the bull shark is very dangerous because of attacks near La Réunion island.
However, tens of them are living at 600 feet from the famous beach of Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. And there are no attacks.
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!
