Swimming with the fishes

Today went with an organized snorkling/swimming trip near the reef, so theres only few pics from the day. Otherwise, it was quite a memorable
one ;-)

Fish you photographed looks exactly like "hauki". Nice.

Isn't it magical view to underwater world when snorkling above the reaf?

Corals werent in bloom, so it wasnt as colorful as in TV-documentaries, but very nice still. Seeing that big shark coming into view out of haze was quite otherworldly :)

The fish does actually look like a pike from this angle, I'd remember it's bodyshape to be more like a "ahven"(bass?) on steroids!

Congraz!! I guess when seeing the shark come in, the feeling goes close to Panic? Must have been a sight to behold!

It feels just exiting, nothing like panic! Shark really didnt pay us much attention, it just swam around and went on its' way. Like one of the guides said: Its much more intensive to swim with mammals, they look into your eyes, with sharks, well, there's nobody at home. Not even the lights are on (behind the eyes of shark).
