Saw Two Lionfish. This is an underwater safari

October 15th, 2012. Taha’a, French Polynesia

The lion fish is a brown and white banded fish with large dorsal fins containing venomous spikes. Related to the stonefish, lion fish hide under ledges. We saw two lion fish heading for their lair under a large rock on a slope at about 2 meters undersea. David screamed though his snorkel at Yannay that they were seeing an unbelievable sight. It felt like viewing a leopard, rare, exciting and slightly unnerving.
