Fairy Basselets hide betweed corals when divers or predators approaching. But if you stop breathing they come out carefully and try to get some food – in this case short before sunset.

Wow – this is a remarkable capture of all that colour
Thanks Steven. Sometimes small fishes are more spectacular than big ones!

Great colours Norbert, lovely shot. Stop breathing while diving – oh this not a good thing, is it?? ;-)) Well, sometimes we have to make a sacrifice to get the shot, don’t we – and it conserves some air in your tank too. :-)
Thank you very much. No, sorry – not to stop breathing is just a stupid PADI rule. Every experienced diver knows this.

Just kidding… :-) Good to see some underwater shots of the 5D MKII. I didn’t have a chance to take mine for a real dive yet, in fact I haven’t been diving for the last 10 months!! :-(
That’s a shame. Impossible for me!
