Pufferfish contain tetrodotoxin, a substance that makes them foul tasting and often lethal to fish. To humans, tetrodotoxin is deadly, up to 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide. There is enough toxin in one pufferfish to kill 30 adult humans, and there is no known antidote.

A great place for divers, snorkelers, and sun worshippers alike Losama Bay is, in our opinion, somewhat underrated. Diving is carried out around a small island in the middle of an idyllic tropical bay, surrounded by steep cliffs, with a small beach that can be snorkeled to. With macro life everywhere here in the form of Nudibranchs, Flat Worms, and Shrimps of all kind it's easy to miss the Barracuda and Leopard Sharks that sometimes call Losama home. There is also a canyon on the south side of the island that is literally dripping with Gorgonian Sea Fans and Fan Corals.
