This is the number one macro dive.

You swim down to what looks like the contents of a full ashtray, grey crap. All the rubbish that people have thrown into the Strait over the last hundred years. Or is it?

When you really start to look you find what looks like a piece of rubbish, but is actually a fish in disguise.

Sea Urchins as large as footballs seem to gang up and flash their neon lights at each other in a magnificent display.

Our guide told us that if we did not see a seahorse that he would refund the cost of our holiday! There were so many that we began to be blase about them.

There are thousands of nudibranch. I, of course, had gone in with wide angle - but still managed to come back with some fantastic shots.
