I was watching some chubs milling around, when I noticed a much larger fish heading my way. Easily identified as a Whitetip Reef Shark, it hugged the bottom and passed directly below me.
Whitetips are mostly curious, but like anything in the water, they should be treated with respect and given space.

Stocky Hawkfish markings appear symmetrical, but aren’t quite. However, they do an excellent job of helping the fish to blend in as it waits, motionless, to snag passing prey. This fish was more patient than most. There was a swell running and it kept swishing me back and forth in front of the stoic fish, which was sheltered from the waves, and also wedged in with its pectoral fins.
