A couple of views of different bluefin trevallies. There are two things I particularly I like about this quite large fish. One is that they’re quite beautiful when the sun catches their blue markings. The other is that they tend to hunt in twos and threes, often times in the company of goatfish, and an eel or octopus. Indeed, if you want to see an octopus, one of the best ways is to watch for trevallies, especially if they’re just stooging around in one area for no apparent reason. In that case, it’s probably because there’s an eel or octopus present that can’t easily be seen.


Beautiful. You need white light to see full colour of fish. I remember diving in the Philippines at night, using a torch instead of relying on the normal filtered light. It was a whole different experience.

I bet. The sunlight and depth of the fish makes a huge difference to the final image. It’s a hit and miss proposition around here.

Water filters out different light which makes fish look a lot duller than they actually are. These are good shots though.

They are very beautiful in that light.
