Herd of Humpheads

Sorting through one of my hard disks again, I came across some images I’d forgotten about. This one reminded me of how lucky I am.

This is what I can only describe as a “herd” of humphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum), which I swam with for an hour and a half or so, very very early in the morning (like pre-coffee early). I was on a closed-circuit rebreather, so I got really close.

Hi Tony,
I just got back from Selayar and Lembeh and this is the first mail I open in the more than 200 I got while I was away.
WOW!
Doesn’t make the return to cold grey Luxembourg easier. I love this shot, the term herd is well chosen. I defenitly have to take a re-breather course.

Cheers Mona
