Pterois miles, the devil firefish or common lionfish, is a species of ray-finned fish native to the western Indo-Pacific region. Seen in many places of the Red Sea. It is a venomous fish.
These fish pose a serious threat to reef fish populations and thus to coral reef ecosystems and the people who depend on them.
Usually we have seen the common lionfish, which is red brown beige in color. The black volitan lionfish I have only seen in the Red Sea in Jordan.
The underwater world is so beautiful, exotic, colorful and magnificent.
This post is for your inspiration. A little bit of joy and color to the day! Hope you like what you see.

Each time I go underwater in the Red Sea, I see something new. The fish and the corals blend together in the most beautiful way. Nature is exotic and exciting. I hope you enjoy my sealife and underwater photos. The corals are softly colored digitally.
I love the sea. I have photographed the seascapes in a few different countries. Here are some from Finland, Italy, Portugal and Egypt.

We have these seagulls around the seashore and out in the archipelago. Here is one watching the scenery standing on a small rock in the sea. A lovely bright summer day in Finland.
What a terrific time we had spending again a week at the gorgeous Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh, Egypt. If you love excellent service, beautiful views, fantastic suites, very friendly staff, wonderful food, pool time, beach time or snorkelling / diving in the Red Sea… this is your best choice.
What a thrill it is to dive into the Red Sea waters. Each time I am happy and excited, and I know I will see beautiful sealife, maybe a few new species… and all those wonderful, colorful corals, that Red Sea still has.
Here are a few of my new underwater photos:
