The Story: Budego (Lophius budegassa), it is very rare to meet him because he usually lives deep and for me it was a real thrill to find it. I have only met him once in Noli. That day I was diving on a seabed of sand and pebbles at a depth of 20 meters and the visibility was rather poor. Not having found any interesting subject I gone down depth another 10 meters and I found myself in front of this splendid specimen
