Fish watching





While divers are busy watching fish and other marine life on the reef, it's not uncommon to find that the fish are watching the divers as well. Sometimes a fish will follow us for quite a while. The lower photo is of a saucereye porgy. This fish is about 14 inches long, and has followed us on several of our dives on Bari reef. The upper photo is a schoolmaster. They get up to about 2 feet, and we regularly see them hanging out under large reef structures and soft corals, watching us.
