Juvenile
Queen Anglefish photos above by Rumi
Anglefish
are usually rather shy (but not always). This one, above, kept
under the rocks and was hard to capture. There's a very shallow
reef in Ensenada Honda called 'Tablón',
where you can glide over densely packed corals ( mostly Gorgonians)
and the sunlight is very strong, because of your proximity to the
surface. All this adds uip to great picture taking! Even with a
disposable camera. You don't need flash. Sea
Fans on Tablón.
You
can only reach Tablón ( and Berlin reef too) on a motorboat,
although I have kayaked there on calm days... But you really have
to know the area to reach it by kayak, it's a very large bay and
hard to get to. Strong, healthy, experienced snorkelers could consider
hiring a local guide and kayaking there. It is much asier to take a motorboat
trip.
There
is a huge French Anglefish on the windward side of Berlin, that
twirls in the water, a beautiful site! Skittish too so gotta look
fast.
