Say 'ello to my leettle friend!

I don't know when this little guy started following me around, but I first caught sight of him about a quarter of the way through the dive. Every now and again I would see a little flash of yellow as he darted across my eyes, and it made me smile to know my little dive buddy was still hanging in there. He was still there even to the end, I'm sure even until I left the water. These photos were taken during the safety stop by Yves Toth, a very nice guest here at Lembeh. The last photo was taken by my good friend and dive guide Paulus.
After consulting the Indonesian fish bible, I think I've concluded that this little guy is a juvenile Golden Trevaly. Maybe not though, this guy was pretty cute and harmless, and when I think of the 'slightly' more aggressive grown-up version in the Pacific Coral Reef tank at the Seattle Aquarium, I can't help but have my doubts:)









Whaddya know that after thinking about my little dive buddy all day, and wanting to write this post, I go for a dive on the house reef in the afternoon and what do I see flashing in the corner of my eye? My little dive buddy came to join me again! Stayed right through the end of the dive. :)
