Fashion should be fun and with my photography I love to create those fun moments.

Aquatic Life at Heron Island, first dive
Our first look underwater at Heron Island
walked up to just next to the marina and then plan to drift around the Island, underwater
and as soon as we get i, not even 10 seconds, boom, big stingray
just lurking under the sand
Jacqui's been stung in the past, pain so bad she thought she was going to loose her leg, so brave moment swimming over one
lots of fish
and coral looking good ( compared to the damage we saw in Fiji )
just like Fiji
but wait, what's that down there
yes, a turtle
no way, awesome
just chilling
and its nit scurrying away,
just hanging out, happy for me to take some photos
love the colour on these guys
reef ball
clam
swam with this school of fish for a good 10 min
happy to hang with me
but they still did not let me get too close
:-)
so many of them
spot the ray
up close
and another
and another, so many of them
and them look at the three dorsal fins giving away there's something there
I swim closer and there was a sting ray hiding there as well
snub nose ray
more fish
more rays
Jacqui had enough of the rays
but never the turtles
time to have some lunch, Jacqui walks back
little reef shark
but I head back in
and drift back
with these guys again ( wonder if they are edible ) as we are in a national park, no fishing allowed, so as opposed to Fiji, you see a lot of the smaller tropical fish around the coral, but here you'll see a lot more of the bigger fish as they are protected by the fishing ban
reminds me of Tahiti
