Boxfish (Lactoria diaphana, Round-belly Cowfish) over a sandy area underwater in Raja Ampat. Underwater photography taken during a dive in Indonesia.


The underwater motif shows a boxfish (Lactoria diaphana, Round-belly Cowfish), which can often be spotted over wide sandy areas in the coral reef. Boxfish are very maneuverable and remind me of a helicopter because they can turn on the spot. Underwater photography taken at a dive spot in Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia.
