These shots were taken during a trip to Menjangen Island off the NW coast of Bali last October. Titan Trigger fish are amazing - over half a metre in length with massive teeth. They eat coral and while diving you can actually hear them biting and crunching. What goes in at the front end comes out as white sand at the other. They have also been known to bite divers!!
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!!

Colourful creatures, their markings made me think of patchwork quilts.. how bizarre it must be to hear them eating way down there!
