Nothing like swimming with a turtle at depth. Here I’m still on the bottom and basil swam to and around me. #underwaterphotogaphy #turtles

The cuttle season is drawing to a close I believe. Less cuttle interactions. Less cuttlefish. There are still a few around but not like the population we had at the peak of the season. Back to deeper water they go. #Australia #Sydney #Diving #Ocean #MarineConservation

Quokkas of Western Australia. This image taken at Rottnest Island. Fascinating small marsupials that don’t seem to be bothered by humans - likely because of over exposure. Massively cute however! #quokka #westernaustralia #rottnest #perth

I’ve taken some of my seahorse photos and turned them into downloadable greeting cards! Might be handy for valentines day. If interested : downunderoceans.etsy.com/listing/1860... #valentines #love #seahorse #ocean #greetingcards

Wait!! Turtles yawn?? According to the Oliver Ridley Project : Sea #turtles underwater will slowly open and close their mouths in a behaviour known as "throat-pumping" to move water towards their nose. They then use
'chemoreception' to analyse the chemicals in the water to find food or to navigate.

Minah - the juvenile manta ray that was spotted before Christmas in Sydney. Mantas this far south are very rare. #ocean #mantaray #conservation

Started the year off right with a 5am dive to see the squid. Also co-collected 25kg of rubbish from the swimming area. #underwaterphotography #ocean #squid

One highlight of the year for sure. A Manta Ray in my own back yard.
Gracefully gliding through the bay Sunday- a young female with two hooks. One hook was removed and hopefully the other in time will wiggle its way out. Wonderful experience. #manta #sydney #ocean #manly

More turtle goodness. I sense a theme. It’s like getting that one last popsicle. #underwaterphotography #turtle #love
