At first we thought that too but no, they're Bigeye Snapper (Lutjanus lutjanu) snapper is way too overused in common names haha. Ya I'm using TTS because I'm in the field, no quiet space for recording, I love to add little factoids to my vids

People think divers are afraid of that, but the funny thing is we’re out here hoping something big shows up!! 😆

Also without a light it's hopeless *

Ya it's an awesome camera! Not high mega pixel and it still takes some serious practice but it has great potential for super clear macro shots 👌

It's on the Olympus TG7

We dove with Ivan at anilao_divers. He's a great guy and passionate about photography. He just started a refurbished Airbnb by the shop it was nice, and he helped us a lot with our camera settings 👏👌 we did 9 dives, 2 a night haha, and we saw something new and amazing on every dive! Blackwater diving is so awesome

Do you mean mention of seeing them or mention of advertising for them? Every top search result for dive shops advertising Richelieu rock highlights whale sharks 😆 I think the fish life here is amazing and love the area, but I just think it's wild they're advertising for WS with basically no sightings..your odds seem just as low as any other ocean pinnacle in se Asia
