Sleeping parrotfish spotted during a dawn dive.
i´m on the way!! :-)
I was was working in egypt and i´m sure you know how happy you can be to life in a place like yours. After coming back from egypt theres no day without dreaming back.
Thanks Palaimon. Indeed I am lucky to be here with a lot of good dive sites. Pack your dive gear and come over for some tropical diving :-)
Thanks for the ID Laura. I think you got it right. Do pack your bags and head over here :-) Yep mucus doesn't sound cute but hey, they work for them :-)
Your shots ar really good! and you can really lucky to have this kind of animal around you, i just have small freshwaterfishes :-)
Great pic! All these underwater photos make me want to go diving so badly... I'll have to organise a trip with some friends soon! Eric, I think this is a palenose parrotfish, based on the bright blue line that runs over the face! It's so cute to see parrotfish sleeping in their mucus sleeping bags (though I just realised that doesn't *sound* cute...)
Most of my dive pics are taken in the general area of Dive and Trek, our favorite weekend dive resort in Batangas. There are however a lot of sites within the
Anilao area not to mention the others in the Visayas region. Going to Apo reef this January. Come on over! :-)
I am trying to compete with your underwater pictures ;) your pictures are so clear! Good buoyancy control. Unlike me lol
I love to dive! It's just getting the time to do it. Getting bored of diving in Malaysia now. Would love to dive in the Philippines. You have some amazing dive sites!
Thanks Sean. This was an early morning (dawn) dive. Glad to see you've started diving again :-)
Great shot Eric, was this a night dive? These are my favourite reef fish I love every thing about th! :)
