What Fish See


Ever wonder what fish see? What do they think about big gangly people clumsily swimming around chasing them with cameras and nasty barbed spears? Do they think we're just big fish? Or funny pale colored arthritic seals?

I noticed as I bobbed above the coral that the fish ran away if I moved but if I floated as so much flotsam in the waves, they came right back and I could snap as many pictures as I wanted. Funny thing that. It was the motion that scared them. I guess they didn't think we were seals after all.
