Lacey Scorpionfish Hin Muang Thailand

I have just dived Hin Muang again and it was AMAZING!

I was diving with Steve who took the Open Water Course with Go Dive on Koh Lanta several yaesr ago. Steve luckily keeps returning back to Koh Lanta where he has now taken the Advanced Open Water Course and Nitrox Speciality.

This vacation Steve wanted to keep going with his learning and took the Deep Speciality which is diving to the maximum of recreational diving of 40 meters. On one of these dives we headed to Hin Daeng and Hin Muang. The plan was to drop down to 40 meters shallow up slowly and look for the Lacey Scorpionfish.

Lacey Scorpionfish at Hin Muang don’t be fooled the white dots, they are not its eyes.

I shallowed up looking for the scorpion fish but could not find it as the fish is Purple and well camouflaged next to some purple soft corals, plan out the window I thought!

But luckily Steve was focused on a clownfish and when I looked down the scorpionfish was just next to him. BRILLIANT!

Beautifull and Ugly at the same time

Thank you to Steve for letting me use your photo’s on this blog they are great shots of a remarkable fish and also Thank you some great diving.
