A Grumpy Guide to the Deep Blue: My Tour with a Pufferfish Pa

A Grumpy Guide to the Deep Blue: My Tour with a Pufferfish Pal
🌊🐡 Today, I had the most unexpected underwater tour guide—a white-spotted pufferfish! But let me tell you, this guy wasn’t just any friendly neighborhood fish. With his grumpy face and slow, deliberate movements, he seemed more like a disgruntled local showing a tourist around his turf.

As I floated around, he popped out from behind a rock, puffed up just slightly (like a warning), and stared at me as if to say, “What are you doing here?” I couldn’t help but laugh behind my snorkel.

For the next few minutes, he escorted me through his patch of the ocean, hovering over seagrass beds, pointing out his favorite rocks (or maybe just guarding them), and side-eyeing me every time I got too close. His attitude made the experience all the more hilarious. I imagined him muttering, “Stay in your lane, human.”

Even with his grumpy vibe, he was a star—a true underwater guardian of his realm. Seeing his intricate white spots and unique puffed-up charisma was an experience I won’t forget. Here's to the unexpected guides we meet in the ocean!
