Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It's about the same size as the 48 mainland states of the USA and 50 per cent larger than Europe, but has the lowest population density in the world - only two people per square kilometre.
Taken at Shelly Beach, North Sydney with a Canon S1IS, internal flash. Poor visibility around 3m. This photo is one of my first scuba diving; up until now I was free diving. The funny thing about this cuttlefish fish was that my partner didn't see it when it was in camo. She almost tackled it.

This Leopard Shark was on a mission this day. Just moments after he collided with my camera housing, he decided to take on a diver! I guess he was either very inquisitive ... or just very friendly. Infact, he played with us for a good 15 minutes or so, swimming over us, around us and in-between our legs. Julian Rocks, Byron Bay

Some try close up photography ... others try macro photography... and then comes a Leopard Shark who wants to take you 'head on'. This is the culprit a split second before colliding into my Ikelite housing - Good onya. Taken at Julian Rocks, Byron Bay, NSW
