Fishes... angel, bat, butterfly, among others...

Actually have loads of underwater shots that I need to sort out and post...
I suppose I will have a lot to do after I retire from my day job in 12 years' time...

This blue faced Angel fish was busy looking for food...


A coral trout resting on the corals, posing for the cameraman...

Think this is a juvenile bat fish...
Very shy and 'unsettled' at the approach of the camera... 

And this, a mature bat fish...
It looks like the pomfret fish and I sometimes wonder if they are sold in the markets...

Beaked or Copper-banded Butterfly fish...
A very attractive fish, and it seems like they like to move about in pairs...

Think this is some kind of cardinal fish...
They appeared to be very comfortable hanging out in the artificial reef...

Right below the jetty, a staff member found this moray eel...
Apparently, it tried to swallow its prey but got entangled with a net...

  5. These are magnificent underwater photos -- you've done a great job with these.
    I retired five years ago, and I hate to tell you this, but I seem to have less time to work on my photos now than I did while I was working.

  6. In 12 years' time, I bet you already amassed thousand and thousand of photos to sort. ;)

    Love the underwater shots. They are so bright and colorful.

  7. Staff, net? Does that mean the net was disentangled from the fish?

  8. George... thank you for your thoughts... I imagine I will be occupied with a lot of things myself after retirement...

    lina... too many fotos, really... but being such a camera-addict, what else to do...

    Elephant's Eye... yeap, staff member of the dive center... unfortunately, the eel was already dead when discovered...

  9. Lrong,
    Sorry to hijack this post.

    If I may, can I e-mail you? I need advice on the upcoming trip to Shikoku and with just 3 days 2 nights there, I'm stumped about the places I should visit because I want to go to them all.

    Thanks!

  11. I can imagine it is hard to leave the fishes behind when it's time to be on land again! Beautiful shots.

  13. Keats The Sunshine Girl... you are right on this point... it is always difficult to leave and return to 'civilization'...

    Diane AZ... that Angel fish is really super pretty...

  14. Those are very beautiful and vivid photos, as if they are not in the water. If I were you, maybe I will not be able to restrain myself in getting the red grouper, because it is very delicious, haha! Do you know of the scorpion fish, they say the golden one is near our place!

  15. Andrea... had a great laugh reading your comment on the red coral trout...it is a very delicious fish, I must agree... I have not seen a golden lion fish as yet... maybe someday... hopefully...
