Sometimes the greatest encounters are the unexpected ones. We  all went on a late afternoon dive in Alona to watch the mandarin fish mating. I spent quite a while lying on old broken corals watching these colourful little fish. The dive then became a night dive and suddenly on the reef I came across this scene. This little yellow fish was hiding in a dark red crinoid. In the end it was my favourite picture of this mandarin fish dive!

I hope you enjoy.

BTW : only 75 days to go to get into a plane with destination Singapore-Manado
