Worth the wait...

You gotta be patient!

Today I came around a coral head, saw this guy with his mouth wide open and being cleaned so I popped off a shot...at the same time I fired, a ringtailed cardinalfish swam through the scene and the focus grabbed it instead! I did end up with a nice face shot of him, but the shot I wanted disappeared.

The cleaner swam off and my fishie closed his mouth then swam in a bit of a circle; I watched. He stopped again and thankfully the cleaner came back. I took a few frames of him being cleaned - just hovering and waiting...then miracle - open mouth, dentist duty! I was only able to get two frames off - both were OK, but this is the one with the cleaner's head facing out!

What the...?
Where the heck are you diving, in fresh water? If you've ever dove in the Carribean and you have'nt seen a fish cleaning station you must be blind :11:
No insult meant but I find it hard to believe.

Dive Safe,

Lots of divers go along and only see the obvious big stuff.
