Wait for it….
For over 10 minutes, I was watching this weedy sea dragon swim around in circles around a patch of kelp, purposely stopping every now and then to suck up some food. Suddenly, without any hesitation, it stopped and turned towards me, swimming steadily towards my camera. It kept following me and I realised it was following my dive lights which was attracting its food source.
Such a special moment but also scary as I knew how delicate these animals can be!
