Nice. What camera are you using? The lack of video lights kind of added to video. I especially liked the back lighting when your buddy was illuminating the sharks.

I spent the whole time watching trying to think of a Tuco joke, but came up empty.

It is an old, simple Casio Exilim compact digital camera. Nothing fancy

Weird looking fish, had to check Wikipedia

How shallow are you finding these fish?

Those Casio Exilims were great P&S cameras for underwater. I owned two of them at one point.

Nice video. I love swimming with those fish ... they're plentiful where I live ...

As I was watching the video I was thinking that we have critters like that here.

This time we met them at between ten and twenty meters. They live in the two hundred meter deep fjord but come on shallow water at night

Indeed we do ... in fact they're the most plentiful fish in Puget Sound, thanks to the fact that they have absolutely no commercial value ...
