This little PJ pup was part of a pack of 15-20 little babies in Watsons Bay, Sydney. We observed them for over a month in September 2001, before they moved out into deeper water and finally disappeared. Photocomp December '04 - Open

This is a new discovery from Sydney waters. The little fish, a Sydney Pygmy Pipehorse (Idiotropiscis lumnitzeri), is very hard to photograph. This is a 1:1 shot with a Nikonos III.

We were nightdiving under the Kurnell refinery jetty, NSW and these little spotted Dumpling Squids were all over the place! I have never seen so many in a night, and many were feeding on the hinge-beak shrimps. Photocomp December '04 - Open
