The trio. The species is Parapristipoma octolineatum, and it's possible to find groups of them at certain places of the Canary Islands, but generally it's not a very common species here.
jumping Southern Right Whale , Puerto Pirámides / Patagonia
Trachinus spp. The first 3 spines of the dorsal fin of these fishes are poisonous. Diving it's no problem, because they don't let you touch them, but many fishermen have had serious problems with these fishes.

What a wonderful eye! This is a full frame close-up of the "face" of a small puffer-fish. Only by night, when they are sleeping, is it possible to get so close. Nikon F100 with 90 mm Tamron and TCx2
