Ningaloo Reef, Exmouth, Western Australia - May 2012 II

[alcina]

Every dive I've done this month has been outstanding in one way or another. I am still amazed at how awesome our sites are and that no matter how often I dive them I see something new!

Enjoy :)

And my turtle giving me more head bumps, she's so sweet but has a very hard noggin' and had to put a gentle hand on her shoulder to stop her whamming me!

Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing. I currently live in the US but I have family in Perth. What's the best way to travel up to Exmouth from Perth? Looks like I might skip trying to go the the GBR and just go up to Exmouth.

[alcina]

Thanks!

Skywest and Qantas both offer flights to Exmouth (LEA) from Perth (PER). If you drive it takes 12 hours and it's boring!

Superb shots Kristin

Just drive nice things to look at on the way if you break trip up. Much better than GBR

[alcina]

Searcaigh - thank you :)

alien - if you stop to look at things you must add at least one day for each thing to your timetable coz nothing is on the main road. Personally, I'd just fly!

Are those crabs filter feeding, or do they have small barnacles on them? Those are VERY cool shots. But the flatworm is simply artwork . . .

[alcina]

TS - yes, the crabs both have their catcher's mitts out and were gobbling down goodies! Thank you for the lovely comment about the flatworm!!

I would definitely look into getting that clownfish shot blown up and placed on a wall somewhere prominent.

Greagt shots Kristin. I am hoping to be able to make it down to Oz next year.

[Gilligan]

Great shots. I especially like the head to head turtle shot.

Kristin - Surely this is NOT a SeaLife camera?! I can often Crop a fairly good shot and get a really good picture out of it. But your clarity is amazing. What on earth are you using for equipment?

[alcina]

ROFL Profess - no, not a sea life, though I'm sure they are capable of lovely images ;) I'm using my trusty Canon 40D in a Subal housing with Inon strobes. Canon 60mm macro for this particular thread.
