First cuttlefish for the year on a ripping current wall dive. Putting this into the temperate water section as it was shot in Melbourne, Australia. Temperate can be full of colour too!

A very different subject that tells a story.
The deck of the San Francisco Maru near the lantern room, one still left on!
On the deck of the Shinkoku, it took me ages to finally get the shot I really wanted. Was aiming to capture this little guy's head on but also capture the transulcent nature of the anemone.
shortlistedShortlisted!
Inside the engine room of the Heian Maru in Truk, lots of rust, fine silt and broken gauges.
Always an interesting situation to find common place element of a ship in a not so common place. This one was on one of the decks within the middle of the wreck, well away from the sides.
Took a trip to Truk Lagoon, amazing place with some amazing scenes.
Gas Mask within one of the wrecks just one of the reminders of the loss of life.
First attempt at u/w photography, and one of my favourite little critters, Weedy Sea Dragon.
Photo was taken at Flinders Pier in Victoria, Australia.
