These two shots of baby Lionfish were taken at different times. The first is a very young Red Firefish and was captured at the Abrolhos Islands. My buddy had spotted it and was pointing to it, but I could not see what she meant. I took a shot and it was only when I was back on the boat that I could see what I'd taken. A very lucky photo as the fish was only a couple of centimetres long. The second shot was taken at Sipadan Island and is of a slightly older Common Lionfish.
This blog contains photos, mainly taken during diving around Perth and other parts of Western Australia, with occasional other locations thrown in. This header photograph was taken during a trip to Sipadan Island off the coast of Borneo. It shows a Grey Reef Shark disappearing into the gloom, which drops to around 600 metres deep - I was at around 30 metres!!

Maybe they ought to be named Tiger Fish!

These are amazing, you were so lucky to catch the first shot. I really like the bottom one, very dramatic looking.
