The Fish

These are the most common species of fish found along the Saronic Gulf and surrounding areas.
After years of observation here is a brief catalogue of what you can expect to find while exploring the sea below.
These images were taken while free diving which makes the fish feel more comfortable to get closer to me and have their photos taken, some even smile...
