Lighting. Focus. You.
Low tide, close to the shore; but alone. An hours long casual snorkel along an unfamiliar reef. The yellow shrimp goby, with two pistol shrimp. First time I'd seen both a yellow shrimp goby, it living with two pistol shrimp, and the shrimp fussily borrowing in the middle of the day.
A sea of sea urchins. Like bees in a blooming garden; innocuously sharp.
Low tide, close to the shore. Sometimes being a hands length from everything on the reef is more terrifying than swimming the meters length of a swimming pool down to see it. A current, a wave, your breath pushing you uncontrollably near in-on-to one of the countless living things on the reef.
