Sydney - Blue Ringed Octopus
Hi guys,
I'm just a snorkeller in Sydney i do alot of my diving around botany. I'm really keen on seeing a blue ringed octopus. Can anyone make a recommendation or where i would most likely come across one? and what sort of rocks or conditions should i be looking at?
Cheers,
John.

There are plenty around, I often see them at night. They are hard to spot normally, small and drab in colour plus they hide away.
It would be hard to spot them on snorkel. And just in case you were thinking of doing so, I would not advise picking up rocks searching for them - they will kill you very quickly.

A Turtle Nursery At Wakatobi
by KarenS
- Sea Turtles can live to be 100 years old, but most don’t survive their first few days. In the wild, the tiny hatchlings typically encounter a gauntlet of predators as they hatch and make their way from beachside nests to open water, and they remain especially vulnerable those first few months of life. When nature is in balance, this attrition is a normal part of the circle of life. But when turtles become threatened by factors such as habitat loss, or predators like fish and birds, they may need a little extra help to maintain a normal population. This is where Wakatobi Dive Resort has stepped in.
