These shots were taken at 30 metres and show the difference with and without flash (not the same scene). The reef is very colourful but without a light source the reds become a dull brown and the blues become grey. It shows up dramatically while diving as the only patches of colour are where your torch is pointing.
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!!
