Ningaloo - more wide stuff

I still have not found time to go through the photos from my awesome dives a little bit ago, but here are a few that I've zapped out...

And this is what it looks like right after the last of the marauders leaves the frame - those bits that are floating are mostly leftovers and the haze is all the sand kicked up from the hunters hitting the dirt to get a better angle on their prey. It was crazy to see. The haze settles in five or ten minutes...

Kristin those are fabulous! Those baitfish sure do make a nice negative space. That first frogfish is one of the best I have ever seen.

Cool pics, Kristin. I especially enjoyed the Wobbie and the second to last, with the school.
