When I took this photograph I did not suspect that in this hole located at ten meters an enormous Titan Triggerfish had made its nest. What’s more I had to forget to start the flash and the fish did not give me time to make a second photograph since hardly a second after the 1st was taken, it charged me with his large mouth wide open. Extremely fortunately it touched only the lens of the camera and I set out again much more quickly than I had arrived…
It is really necessary to be wary of these “trigger fish”, which regularly leave beautiful scars on divers who approach a little too close to its
