This happened after several hours of watching and photographing dwarf minke whales during a big encounter with many animals. For a moment I forgot to breathe. Ribbon Reefs, GBR.

Dwarf minke whales can swim in prolonged bursts exceeding 20 knots. Chasing after them is futile (and illegal). Luckily for us they are inquisitive and often approach people that remain still and calm in the water. Ribbon Reefs, GBR.

This was diving on the HMAS Brisbane on my birthday in 2007 a present from my wife. Absolutely swamped by a massive school of yellowtail kingfish topping off an excellent dive. Panasonic Lumix TZ1.

A Coral Cod at the Yongala wreck. After a month of solid rain, the water was very green and murky. The fish predation action however was incredible. Yongala wreck, Queensland, Australia.
