Snorkelling. Not too happy getting close to these fellows. They can nip a bit apparently.

Thanks for the info Igone. What a great name they have. You are right they seemed more curious than aggressive. I was only 30cm away with the camera and holding breath, so got quite close. Certainly interesting creatures!

Those are peppered morays, I do get close and touch them but you have to be careful not to put the hand in the hole where they are, as their vision is limited. Most wild animals will not attack or bite without reason. Nice shot!

The underwater world is full of surprizes: Great action picture and I hope they did not bite you :-)
