Cornetfish

The image shown is a representative illustration and does not depict every individual animal in this category.

Total number of species: 3

The cornetfish, also called flutemouth, consists of four species of distinctly long and slender fish from the genus Fistularia. These unique fish are identifiable by their flattened stature from top to bottom and extremely elongated bodies. Some cornetfish can grow as long as many eels but are distinguishable by their long tubular snout. You can go diving with cornetfish along the tropical and temperate coastlines of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans.

Dive sites with this animal

DivePoint Meedhupparu, 960 Meedhupparu

Beriyan Dhekunu Thila (★4.4)

Regardless of whether Thila or the nearby main reef BDT is the best Marco place, which does not mean that there are no big fish;) However, there are occasional “funny currents“ which are no problem with a guide who knows his way around! After the small Thila, simply hold the current right / left shoulder and drift
DivePoint Meedhupparu, 960 Meedhupparu

Kottefaru Thila (★4.5)

Great thila with many small overhangs that often serve as shelter for rays, nurse sharks and turtles. Soft corals and extremely many anemones !! Due to its location in a canal, a current must always be expected. We, therefore, recommend having experience with currents or a * special * dive.
