My life Chaetodon burgessi. I heard from Josh, one of the other divers who has done this itinerary before, that they were present on this site, down very deep. So I started my dive down around 120 feet (on 30% nitrox, the maximum safe operating depth for this mix). After five minutes of fruitless searching I started heading up to where my buddy was watching me from 90 feet, and then noticed Josh intently looking under a ledge at 128 feet. I went down to look over his shoulder, and there it was. He later told me he had found it at 135 feet, and chased it up that far.
Several more of these very common wrasses.
Two adults and a juvenile are included in the frame. Again a very common wrasse under this jetty.
Poor view of a fleeing male (image 1),and any further images are of the same individual.
