Parrot Fish with suckerNight dives are pretty boring, but at least the fish stop swimming to pose for photos.
Crab on fan coralI was shooting the crab, but the critter ended up spoiling a perfectly good design for a Korean's Hawaiian shirt.
Leopard sharkWe saw a few sharks - grey tip reef, leopard and grey nurse - but most were too timid to stick around long. This guy's about a metre and a half.
Scorpion fishIt's usually pretty hard to find these guys but this one didn't quite have his camoflage worked out.
OctopussyThis is a typical brown octopus who decided to change colours a few times to make the photo interesting. She's a beauty.
Cheeky Giant MorayThese guys are everywhere in the Similans. If you don't see five on a dive you were probably swimming upside down the whole time looking for mantas.
Critters galoreNothing special about these guys except how many there were. On the night dive we saw literally hundreds.
A visit to the dentistCleaner shrimps are everywhere, but these guys are a little different in that they specialize in oral hygene. It was a weird feeling having a couple of crabs crawl around my mouth picking off the bits of curry I was saving for after the dive.
Magnificent something or otherOne treat on the night dive is that you get to see the dorises and nudibranches (colourful sea slugs) swimming around. I'll change the image title when I recall the name.
Lion fishAgain, very photogenic and very common in the Similans. This young one decided to pose on mountain coral with a few christmas tree worms to set off his colours.
Clown fishWe found Nemo. It took Rick about fifty snaps to finally get a good one though.
Hiding from the currentWe had a lot of current on the last dive, so I spent a fair bit of time hiding rocks and ledges, which was where most of the reef fish seemed to be hiding as well.
Little blue thingI've no idea what this blue thing is. If you know, please tell me:)
Puffer fishThese guys are like slow VW beetles and have a cute smile.
