Porcupine Fish
Several times we saw porcupine fish. These large fish are so interesting, with their spines, their huge child-like eyes, and their mouths that seem to be in perpetual, small smiles. I don't think I was able to get photos of the first one we saw. So when there was a second one, I tried really hard to get a photo. Although I swam very hard, the fish was just always ahead of me so I never got a face shot - this was the best I could do.
The next time I had the chance, I worked really hard to get a face shot - and it took quite awhile!! This smaller porcupine fish was very obliging, however, as I swam around it for some time.
And finally, I got the face shot!!!
The same snorkel I saw a larger porcupine fish which had some facial scarring (healed up). This was the best shot I could get.
These porcupine fish were really cool!!! It would be really fascinating to see one with its spines out.
