Wow, what a week. Barely know where to start.
The Grey Nurse Sharks seemed not bothered by divers at all. One cheeky female checked out several people and came really close. Grey Nurse Sharks were hanging out at Hugo’s Trench too in groups of up to 7 individuals.
Lots of different nudibranchs out and about, including some large Spanish Dancers. Egg ribbons of the Spanish Dancers could be found all around Julian Rocks.
Of course heaps of Wobbegongs, but this week they seem to be very active and swim their laps. Large Loggerhead Turtle, super friendly Blue Gropers (see photo of one-finned Blue Groper Monty on the left), a huge Porcupine fish, different species of shrimp, goatfish, schools of Yellowtail Kingfish and Jewfish, sweetlips, a Pineapplefish and so much more.
