I don't see any Lutjnus bohar!! I do see a pretty impressive Noah, And a
diver who is definitely focussed.

They're reef sharks.  When you snorkel or dive in most reef environments you
see plenty of them.  They pose a negligible risk unless you are spearfishing
or feeding them, then they can get a bit excited.

This is free diving with real risk:

The fish in the centre foreground is a Lutjanus bohar, known in Australian
tropical waters for being high risk for ciguatera poisoning.
