When I go snorkeling, until I get in the water I never know what the visibility will be like, what I’ll see, and whether I’ll have any photo opportunities. I usually swim for about an hour or so and in that time I could take 40 photos or none at all.
On this day, I’d taken maybe two photos. I was in the process of taking my fins off and getting out of the water when I glanced down and saw this reef lizardfish just off to the side of the ladder. I had one fin on and one off as some moderate swell rolled in, so I hung on to the ladder with one hand as I ducked my head under and snapped some photos. Despite my ungainly thrashing around, the lizardfish remained planted on the bottom, possibly relieved when I finally got my act together and lugged myself out of the water.

Well they are predators and they do have a lot of teeth. I’m not sure how aggressive they are to people in the water. I think they mostly keep still, relying on their camouflage. If someone gets too close, they zip away.

I’m probably the least graceful creature he will see in his lifetime! By the way, I watched 2 episodes of Bridgerton but that was it. I was ready to abandon ship halfway through the first one but wanted to give it a chance. It was all very nice to look at, but I wasn’t gripped by the story, and it wasn’t as entertaining or funny as I thought it would be.

The shape reminds me of something manmade used under water. A mini sub or something similar.

They do have that look about them. They rely on camouflage but their shape is distinctive.
