Among these most popular creatures found on Cozumel's reefs, who is the one we are most "scared" of?
Despite their reputation, Queen Triggerfish are usually quite relaxed around divers. Most prefer to keep their distance and quietly continue their day on the reef.
A master of camouflage. Southern stingrays often rest beneath a thin layer of sand, blending perfectly into the seafloor until it's time to glide away.
Don't let the size fool you. Nurse sharks are among the calmest sharks in the ocean and are often happy to cruise past divers without a second glance.
Curious and always alert, Ocean Triggerfish often seem to inspect divers as carefully as divers inspect them.
Those teeth may look intimidating, but green morays aren't aggressive. They open and close their mouths constantly to breathe, not to threaten divers.
Meet one of Cozumel's feistiest residents. This little fish spends its days defending its patch of reef from any intruder brave enough to come close.
Small fish, huge attitude. Cocoa damselfish fiercely guard their tiny territories and have no problem challenging creatures many times their size.
Which of these reef residents would you be most excited to spot underwater?
