Heading along a fixed transit line to the wreck of the HMAS Brisbane, the wreck only visible in the last 10m, so around 30m of open ocean to traverse from the mooring line. Ilford XP2 Super 400
This image (the blue and the "rays") is a left over from the Twirl effects some of us did last year. This is before you twirl the rays. It occurred to me that it looked like the underwater scenes we see on TV when scuba divers look up into the sun.
I added some sea life as follows:
Real jellyfish from Iceland
A dried seahorse, layers multiplied. Don't ask me why I have a dried seahorse, I have had it forever and I don't know where it came from.
Fish that started out as an orange glass fish in the eclectic garden, also 3 copied three times.
The whale fluke is a pendant which I didn't use for the "nothing in focus" theme for Smile on Saturday. I thought it looked quite good underwater :)
Although Pacific Harbour is 2.5 hours drive from Denaru, it is well worth the 5 hour return trip to dive with the bull sharks! Beqa Adventure Divers were awesome and provided not only the safety (of divers and the sharks) as well as the background on conservation and diversity of the sharks. In particular, the feeding is not done every day and that biopsy tests have shown that the tuna heads that they eat represent about 1% of their diet ie they eat a lot elsewhere as well.
There were about 25-35 bull sharks for the first dive at 30m and 25-30 bull sharks on the second dive at 25m. In addition, they have 2 other depths where we saw different sharks and sizes down to 0.5m sharks at 4m depth.
A wonderful day and I will definitely to it again (albeit expensive) if I go back to Fiji!

about their conservation work. There is nothing else like this in the world and I am convinced that this practice is not harmful.

It is possible that one day I will swim past one of these without taking a photo, but it seems unlikely.
This monster is almost a meter in diameter. The spots on the mantle are light sensitive so it can shut a bit for predators, but they can never completely close. The mantle colours are the real treat: purples and greens and yellows and reds. Sometimes blue.
Entry to Andrew's Contest... With some editing :P
Also sorry for the bad photo.. My good(er) camera broke :"(
It was interesting to watch these learner Scuba divers in the shallows of the clear blue waters off the Portsea Pier. The beach behind is the opposite side of the pier, closer to the eastern part of the curve that leads to the Heads. Portsea has a large number of wealthy inhabitants and a lovely Portsea Hotel that overlooks the pier and the yachts moored nearby.
