This second blog post from diving at Turneffe Island is the "fish" edition.
Disclaimer: Fish are not the most cooperative photo subjects! They seem to love to show their back sides or stay well hidden. Some of these are not the greatest photos but at least give somewhat of a representation of what we saw.
 |
| The white spotted toad fish is endemic to the Turneffe Atoll. Our dive master was a master at finding them well hidden in holes and would tap on the rock just outside the hole to get them to come out and investigate so that we could get photos of them. This one was the best I managed! |
 |
| Damselfish - I love the sparkly blue spots. |
 |
| Fairy Basslet |
 |
| A bit out of focus but this is a slender file fish. They're only about an inch long and difficult to spot. |
 |
| Lion fish - a very invasive species that our dive master often speared and left for the sharks to eat. |
 |
| Little yellow fish. LOL! For lack of knowing what it actually is. :-) |
