Description
Drifting under cover of a floating piece of plastic. The moment I touched it's plastic raft, it started swimming away but kept close to the surface. After some time closely following to get a clear shot, it chose to grab onto the floating line of my diving buoy. Line thickness is 0.5cm and distance between blue marks is 1.5cm.
