Scorpion Fish - Thailand The scorpion fish, one of the most venomous in the world, uses camouflage, and the ability to remain completely motionless, to snap up small unsuspecting fish. For a diver, they look like the rest of the coral, and many have reached out and placed their hands right onto them - another good reason never to touch anything on the reef. Semi-hidden spines in the dorsal fin are coated with a venomous mucous, and they slide right in to human flesh, creating what has been documented as days and weeks of searing pain.

The Glittering Sea, Similan Islands - Thailand Hundreds, if not thousands, of small glass fish parade past a colorful tuft of soft coral in about 60 feet of water - along the rim of Richelieu Rock, Thailand.

Life in the Sand - Thailand The beach at Koh Lak. Morning strolls, taking pictures, planning the day - all without tourists or the bustle of the town.
