Ningaloo Reef, Exmouth, Western Australia | 28 April 2012

Finally back in the water!! Rumors of excellent viz made me almost switch from my trusty 60mm to wide angle, but decided to stick with my first decision and I was pretty happy. Viz was very good on both dive sites but the first site had tons of sand & floaties, too. So much happening that I spent far more time just hanging around watching than thinking about photos - didn't even fire my first frame until 35 minutes into dive one! Had lots of fun - hope you enjoy some photos

Thanks, Larry - appreciate you taking the time to look and let me know you like them

All great shots but the Cleaner Wrasse sticking out of the fish's mouth (or appearing to) is priceless.
