These pictures were also taken on my Sipadan trip in May 2010. Moray Eels are so fierce looking, and presumably could give a nasty bite, however, they always seem very placid when I come across them. I have even stroked one!! Each of the eels pictured is thicker than my arm and around 5 feet long! The first shot shows a Cleaner Fish giving the Moray its daily spruce up.
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!!
