Right - lionfish (~30cm)
Snorkelling in Dahab bay, I duck-dived down to 4.5m (holding breath) to get this shot.
This lionfish was sharing a truck tyre with another lionfish, a pufferfish
and a small moray.
Left - Puffer fish (~70cm)
This puffer fish was chilling out under a large table coral.
There's also a diver in the background here if you look closely.
Right - Blue-spotted ray (~1.2m)
This ray was resting under a piece of coral at Napoleon reef.
Left - Crocodile fish (~90cm)
This ugly mutt was resting under a large coral outcrop at Napoleon reef
at about 10m depth.
Quite difficult to spot because of their camouflaged colors.
The alternative name is "carpet flathead" and you can see why.
Right - Anemone fish (~10cm)
These anemone fish live just near the exit to the blue hole.
