Ok I'm in
How about 2 bat fish, do you see both of them? Sorry for the quality but this was taken many years ago. My gear was rather simple and I was just starting to take underwater pics.

OP
2 batfish? one picture? Seriously? I bow down to you.
:worship: I was lead to believe they were pretty rare in Coz. :cool3:

Seeing cardzard's photo makes me wonder if they're actually rare, or just really difficult to spot. Awesome pic, and you can now consider me on the lookout!

Batfish are uncommon AND hard to find.

WOW... I had no idea that there were any batfish in Cozumel. I have to tell my husband, he is putting together a list of things he has never seen there.

OP
Mine was hanging in the grass patch a Paraíso early before where the seahorse was hanging out. They do seem hard to spot. I did my typical, "What? I don't see anything. What are you pointing at? What? I still don't.... OH THAT!"
Not in Cozumel but a Batfish nevertheless:

Very cool!
At last years Scuba board Cozumel invasion they had a photo contest and they printed out a list of subjects, it was an underwater scavenger hunt with different fish and stuff on it that you had to get a picture of, I'd been going to Cozumel for a long time prior and when reading the list, I was like.. huh? never seen one of those... never seen one of those... never seen one of those here...
The nice thing about the invasion was it was a social thing too so over the course of the week talking to other divers and the photo contest list would come up and it was always interesting to find out who had seen what on the list, things you'd think were almost impossible to find or had never seen you'd have people who had seen them, some of them would even whip out a camera or a computer and show you there pictures of them. It was pretty cool what is there and it was also cool as the week went along to see what people were taking pictures of, really opened my eyes to how much is there and it can be seen. Thanks to that contest I even ended up finding a couple of things I'd never seen there before. These bat fish pictures remind me of that, as I'd never seen one before and then somebody saw one on a dive and got a picture of it and I was like, well there you go!
