I love these Blubber-lipped Bream (Plectorhinchus gibbosus). Glowing lips hanging, disembodied in the darkness. Julian Rocks, Byron Bay, Australia.

It was sunny and a thermocline at 7m had the 6 leopard sharks circling around us for the whole dive.

It did have another small one following it. Taken on Saturday 23/7/05 at Julian Rocks, Byron Bay, NSW, just below the Cod Hole with my Olympus. As you can see by the color of the water we are lucky to see anything at the moment after the big wet. Photocomp July '05 - Novice

Black Coral nursing a cluster of squid eggs at Julian Rocks, Byron Bay. Unfortunately, these little critters didn't live long enough to become 'calamari rings'.

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
