Octopus Resort reef - Yasawas Fiji - Day 2

Exploring the reef straight off the beach at Octopus Resort, Waya Island.

Tighe very keen to get into the water and snorkel.  Visibility is fantastic.  As always, a Picasso Triggerfish joins us as soon as we go under water.  

Unexpected were the Shaded Bat fish. Larger than a Moorish Idol, these ones hung around the anchored bouy.

Plenty of Lined Surgeonfish. Always love the turquoise and yellow colours. Those tiny bright blue fish always make me smile.

The trumpetfish gave me a fright, I didn't expect to to glide underneath me, while I was watching the school of zebra fishes.

The coral is looking good. Plenty of colour and different shapes.

I think I am going to have to learn the names of the different corals. Amazing structures.

So many schools of fish. 

Blue Tang, otherwise known as Dory from Finding Nemo movie.

Not as many Butterfly fish, but maybe we will see more later in the day, depending on the tide.

  

Tighe really enjoying the experience, diving deep to see the different fish, and of course, to see how long he can hold his breath under water.

Finally, some more Butterfly fish.

I think these are yellow Tangs.

Plenty of Trumpet fish in this reef.

These blue fish are so bright against the grey rock.

So many variations of the Butterfly fish.

This tiny Convict Tang bit me.
