Our first Fish will be one of my personal favorites: the queen angelfish (holacanthus ciliaris). Their distinctive color and pattern make them easy targets for the camera while you’re exploring the reef. Like most fish, they are shy, but will often swim closer for a better look at you. I like to imagine they’re telling themselves how much prettier they are. These subtropical fish can be found by themselves or in mating pairs, and prefer the deeper parts of the reef. That being said, be careful if you are following them while SCUBA diving- you don’t want to end up in Davy Jones’ locker!
And now for our first Tip: how to use only one paper towel to dry your hands. I know, it seems impossible to use JUST ONE because they never seem to work efficiently. Here’s the secret. Most of us instinctively do two shakes, reach for the paper towels, fail to adequately dry them, and proceed to use three or four more sheets. Next time, refrain from immediately grabbing a sheet and- here’s the magic number folks- shake ten times. By the time you finish shaking, almost all of the water will be off and you will only need one sheet!
