Diodontidae (Porcupine Fish) are usually found in shallow temperate and tropical seas. Sometimes called blowfish, balloon fish and globefish, they have the ability to inflate their body by swalloing air/water as a defense mechanism against predators with smaller mouths. A second defense mechanism is provided by the sharp spines, which radiate outwards when the fish is inflated.

Hello everyone.
Navas Photography is a page founded by my cousin brother who passed away in a tragic dive accident last year in November. He had a strong passion for wildlife and underwater photography. And he wanted the world to see what he saw, hence sharing his experience through this page. Honoring that, I'll be sharing some photographs and videos we found in his camera and pen drives.
Please keep him in your prayers.
Dive fun and dive safe.👌

Memories live within us...

16/11/2015

It is with great sadness that I find myself having to be the bearer of the bad news.

The Photographer of this page, the passionate diver, the shark enthusiast, Ahmed Nawas, passed away during a Dive Accident on the morning of 16th November 2015 in ADh Atoll, Maldives.

In his memory and for his passion for diving and photography, I believe it's best to keep this page Alive.

Please keep Navas in your prayers.

"INNAHILLAHI WAIHHNA ILAIHI RAAJIOON.To Allah we belong.and to him is our return. "

Snorkeling with MantaRays

MantaRays are very close relatives of the shark. Ironically, sharks as well as orcas are their main predators. They are also closely related to the stingray but they don’t have a stinger.[http://www.mantaray-world.com]
