Great Barrier Reef WARNING LOTS OF PHOTOS!
Went out for a quick trip to the reef the other day, (a good way to relax during the stressfull exam period).
These Photos are from Wheeler Reef out from Townsville, one of my favourite haunts. (Christina peering at fish) |

i'm using a canon IXUS400 digital with a WPDC800 UW housing. Someone nicked my strobes a while ago, so it was all done with available light.
The max depth was around 15 metres (50 feet). The visibility out on the reef was over 40 metres (120 feet), so i couldn't have asked for better contidions. Wheeler is part of the protected "green zone" of the GBR marine park, so it is as healthy as can be, people seem to forget that the GBR is over 2,500 km long, so there are almost an infinite number of pristine undiscovered reefs out there if you look. |

Alright,
Heres some more from the same area: Can anyone get a positive ID on this wrasse? The closest i can find is a checkerboard wrasse. There are more on their way......... |

Some more:
This gives you some idea of the visibility. More To Come........... |

|

Yet More Photos:
Anyone got an ID on this fish? It doesn't seem to fit any description, all i can think of is a juvenile/intermediate phase napolean wrasse. This guy was pecking at my mask and trying to force me out of his territory! Feisty little devil. There are plenty more if people want to see them! Just let me know. |
