He was really friendly and didn't seem to mind that I was swimming along with him.

After the lionfish, I ran into someone friendlier (and much less-dangerous!). This seal-faced puffer fish!

And I even got a chance to say goodbye to my friend the seal-faced pufferfish.

You again?

I've only done a few night dives! They're fun, but creepy. Being underwater is already kind of scary and intimidating, but when you're field of vision is reduced to the tiny, directional beam of your torch, it's even more scary. Here's a pufferfish I found and swam with for a while.

Pufferfish again!

Puffer fish! I swam with this guy for a while. He didn't seem to mind me so I used the flash on my camera (which helped bring out some of the reds and oranges that weren't showing up on the camera using available light).
