A fish has been snapped 'smoking' a cigarette on the ocean floor prompting the photographer to step in.
Steven Kovacs admits that as funny as it is watching a fish appear to enjoy an underwater smoke, he could not resist saving the creature after capturing the action shot.

The image was nominated for the 2021 Ocean Photography Awards after Steven first shared it on Instagram in July.
