the remarkable Porcupinefish who has become a local celebrity at the Junkyard dive site. Unlike his more cautious relatives, Steve has developed an extraordinary comfort level with human visitors, often approaching divers with genuine curiosity rather than maintaining the typical defensive distance.\n\nNamed by local dive guides around 2017-2018, Steve has been observed growing from a juvenile to a mature adult Porcupinefish over several years. His friendly behavior isn&#8217;t the result of feeding or handling &#8211; practices strongly discouraged by responsible dive operations &#8211; but rather represents a natural individual personality trait combined with learned comfort around respectful divers.\n\n<strong>Steve&#8217;s Territory:<\/strong> The Junkyard artificial reef site on Koh Tao&#8217;s western side, created from purposely placed structures and items transformed into thriving marine habitats.\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"image-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"article-image\" src=\"https:\/\/lbdivingkohtao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Open-Water-Thumbnail-16-1.jpg\" alt=\"Diving with pufferfish species around Koh Tao\" \/><\/div>\n<h2>Where to Find Pufferfish Around Koh Tao<\/h2>\n<table class=\"dive-sites-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Dive Site<\/th>\n<th>Pufferfish Species<\/th>\n<th>Best Time<\/th>\n<th>Notes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>The Junkyard<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Porcupinefish (Steve!)<\/td>\n<td>All day<\/td>\n<td>Almost guaranteed sightings, artificial reef environment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Japanese Gardens<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>All three species<\/td>\n<td>Morning\/afternoon<\/td>\n<td>Beginner-friendly, shallow site perfect for Seal-faced Puffers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Gemelos<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Giant Puffer, Seal-faced<\/td>\n<td>Early morning\/late afternoon<\/td>\n<td>Giant Puffers cruise between the twin pinnacles<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>White Rock<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>All three species<\/td>\n<td>Variable<\/td>\n<td>Porcupinefish rest in crevices during day<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Isla del Tibur\u00f3n<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Seal-faced Pufferfish<\/td>\n<td>Daytime<\/td>\n<td>Shallow depth suitable for diving and snorkeling<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Night Dives<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Porcupinefish (active)<\/td>\n<td>After sunset<\/td>\n<td>Best time to observe natural foraging behavior<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"warning-box\">\n<div class=\"warning-title\">\u26a0\ufe0f Critical Safety Information: Tetrodotoxin<\/div>\nAll pufferfish species contain tetrodotoxin, one of nature&#8217;s most potent neurotoxins, with no known antidote. While this poses no danger to divers who observe these creatures respectfully, it reinforces the absolute importance of the &#8220;look but don&#8217;t touch&#8221; principle. The toxin is primarily concentrated in internal organs but is also present in skin.

The tetrodotoxin is primarily concentrated in internal organs and cannot harm you through water contact or proximity. The toxicity only poses risks if the fish is consumed or if someone is cut by their teeth or spines. Koh Tao dive guides are well-trained to ensure appropriate wildlife interactions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\">How did Steve the Porcupinefish become so friendly with divers?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">Steve&#8217;s friendly behavior developed gradually through positive interactions with respectful divers over several years. Named by local guides around 2017-2018, his curiosity toward humans represents natural individual personality traits rather than conditioning through feeding or handling. Some individual fish, like mammals, simply have bolder, more curious personalities that make them comfortable around non-threatening human presence.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\">Can I see pufferfish while snorkeling or do I need to be certified?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">Many pufferfish, particularly Porcupinefish and Seal-faced Puffers, can be observed while snorkeling at shallow sites like Japanese Gardens and Aow Leuk. However, certified divers have access to more locations including The Junkyard where Steve resides, and better opportunities to encounter Giant Puffers which prefer slightly deeper waters. If you&#8217;re planning your trip, check out our guide on <a style=\"color: #0c4a6e; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/lbdivingkohtao.com\/es\/como-llegar-a-koh-tao-desde-cualquier-punto-de-tailandia\/\">c\u00f3mo llegar a Koh Tao desde cualquier punto de Tailandia<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\">Do pufferfish actually inflate when divers approach them?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">Pufferfish rarely inflate when encountering respectful divers. Inflation is their ultimate defense mechanism, used only when seriously threatened with no escape option. This energy-intensive response can be extremely stressful &#8211; they can only inflate 3-4 times before potentially fatal stress occurs. Responsible divers maintain appropriate distances to avoid triggering this defensive behavior.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\">What&#8217;s the best time of year to see pufferfish in Koh Tao?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">Pufferfish are year-round residents, so there&#8217;s no specific &#8220;pufferfish season.&#8221; However, <a style=\"color: #0c4a6e; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/lbdivingkohtao.com\/es\/best-time-to-dive-koh-tao\/\">March through October generally offers the best diving conditions<\/a> with calmer seas and better visibility, enhancing the overall experience of spotting and photographing these charismatic creatures. Steve at The Junkyard is reliably present throughout the year, though wildlife sightings can never be 100% guaranteed on any particular dive.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script>\n    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {\n        var button = document.getElementById('identifyButton');\n        if (button) {\n            button.addEventListener('click', function() {\n                var size = document.getElementById('size').value;\n                var pattern = document.getElementById('pattern').value;\n                var spines = document.getElementById('spines').value;\n                var behavior = document.getElementById('behavior').value;\n                var resultDiv = document.getElementById('identificationResult');\n                \n                if (!size || !pattern || !spines || !behavior) {\n                    alert('Please answer all questions to identify your pufferfish');\n                    return;\n                }\n                \n                resultDiv.style.display = 'block';\n                \n                \/\/ Giant Puffer identification\n                if (size === 'large' && pattern === 'spots' && spines === 'smooth') {\n                    resultDiv.className = 'identification-result result-giant';\n                    resultDiv.innerHTML = '<strong>\ud83c\udf1f Giant Puffer (Arothron stellatus)<\/strong><br><br>You spotted the gentle giant of Koh Tao!
