Sea hare can swim in the water using their parapodia as bird's wings.
This animal has few predators because it is able to send a cloud of purple ink when it feels endangered.
The name of sea hare comes from rhinophores that have the shape of hare ears.
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!
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
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.
