Titan triggerfish

Swimming, Snorkeling and Diving to See and Observe the Titan triggerfish

The Titan triggerfish is large and imposes itself by its warlike side. Beware if you see him at certain times, lying on his side on the ground: when you approach him, he will suddenly stand up and run at you!

Balistoides viridescens, Baliste Olivâtre, Baliste à tête jaune, Baliste titan, Baliste à moustache, Titan triggerfish, Giant triggerfish

Food

The Titan triggerfish is a great hunter who scours the sand to find his prey and breaks their shells because his teeth are so prominent and massive. It is full of mollusks, starfish, crabs, and shrimps and it recovers the microalgae found on the shells.

Breeding

The Titan triggerfish builds the nest in which the female lays her eggs and then protects them with vigor. He attacks all those who come within his reach and bites them violently. The teeth mark can even be seen through a suit. The larvae swarm over large distances and then return to the ground to grow.

Nesima Resort
Egypt  - Dahab
FrenchEnglishGermanItalianRussian

Nesima Resort is located in Dahab, in the southern Sinai, one hour's drive from Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport. You arrive at a small, all-white hotel with an integrated diving center and a swimming pool in the middle of the resort, opening out to the sea. It is located on the seafront promenade, 3 minutes walk from the village center, where Bedouin and Routard cultures intertwine! Small shishas bars are dotted along the water and in the evening you can see the lights of the cities of Saudi Arabia sparkling on the other side of the Gulf of Aqaba. You are almost guaranteed a change of scenery, with brilliant sunshine all year round, high, breathtaking copper-colored mountains, a beautiful, colorful, and healthy reef, and the clear, warm waters of the Red Sea. Access to the dive sites is from the coast, by 4X4. Here you can take advantage of PADI dive courses, from Discover Scuba Diver to Divemaster, and camel and boat diving safaris to Ras Abu Galum and Gabr el Bint. If you have not dived in the last 6 months, then a refresher dive is offered at no extra charge. If your last dive was more than a year ago, then you can do a scuba review in the pool and in the sea. Trips are also organized with mini cruises coupled with dives in South Sinai. Feel free to spend a Bedouin evening under the stars, in the desert, by the sea. After the dive, sitting around the campfire, you will enjoy a delicious dinner of koftas, tahina, and ech. Tip: wait a minimum of 18 to 24 hours between your last dive in Dahab and the flight departure in Sharm el-sheik. [+]
