The Story:
We found this flying gurnard near the surface at the end of a blackwater dive in Anilao. I count myself exceptionally lucky, since this fish is very rarely seen on the surface. The unusually calm sea made it possible to take a photo of the gurnard’s reflection. I have tried to take a picture of a sea creature and its reflection a few times before, but was never satisfied. This time, as I looked at the LCD, I momentarily thought I had found two gurnards…
