Big Ol' Napolean Wrasse (SS Yongala, Australia)

Marriard · Oct 14, 2004

One of the reasons to dive the SS Yongala in Queensland, Australia is the presence of many larger fish - including sharks, rays, turtles, trevally, sea snakes, grouper and of course several of these Napolean or Humphead Wrasse.

And when you get there and the visibility is almost 100ft - perhaps the best I have ever seen on this wreck in over 10 trips, then you know that it is going to be one hell of a day.

Enjoy,

Great shot. We don't have those big buggahs here.

Fish there are HUGE! I've never seen such big Moorish Idols in my life.

Another shot of the big fella, this time in perspective:

What a great shot! When I dived the Yongala this February, the viz was quite bad... So none of my images turned out good because of the backscatter...

But I loved it, the life down there was incredible!
