As the sunlight dances on the surface, the underwater world near Ammoudi Beach in Agios Nikolaos, Crete, comes alive. The silvery reflections of the shoal of grey mullet shimmer against the surface of the sea, creating a mesmerising scene of marine biology in its natural habitat. The crystal-clear waters provide the perfect canvas for this captivating underwater picture, showcasing the beauty of aquatic life in the Mediterranean.
The silvery fish with stripes along their side are flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus), also known as flathead mullet, striped mullet among others.
In the foreground, the smaller brown and gold fish with beautiful forked tails are damselfish or Mediterranean chromis (Chromis chromis).
They seemed to swim over to welcome me, maybe curious at this big “fish” with a face mask and snorkel swimming beside them. I was so lucky to be able to swim with them and to take this special shot, when everything came together – the perfect angle of light, clear waters, my cam set up just right and the fish playing along:-)
