Pinnatus Batfish at the Surin islands

Some fishes you don’t see every day. These divers were on a liveaboard trip booked with Similan Dive Center and made a dive at the Surin islands national park. On their second dive of the day, they encounter this strange looking fish. The divers come here every holiday and made in total over 250 dives in the last 10 years and this was the first time they saw this fish. Back in the Similan Dive Center shop, they showed us the video and it was clear this is the Pinnatus batfish, also know as the also known as the Dusky Batfish or Red-Faced Batfish.
