Sohal Surgeonfish

One of the prettiest fish in the Red Sea, the Sohal surgeonfish is hard to photograph whilst diving as it tends to stay on the top of the reef. I took this picture as I was snorkelling early one morning at the edge of the drop-off. These fish are quite shy too and move quickly, making it a bit of challenge to get a good picture.

Nikon D700, Nikon 28-105 mm macro at 66mm, F8, 1/160th, ISO 400, Ikelite Housing and Ikelite DS160 strobe set on TTL -1.3EV.
