Ever seen a shark poke its tongue out?
Baby Port Jackson sharks move from where they hatch to safe nursery areas for the first years of their lives, including in Sydney Harbour. Remarkably, small sharks that hatch around Cabbage Tree Bay will find their way into the harbour. They spend the first few years of their lives in these areas before they are large enough to migrate along with the adult population to deeper waters.
These small sharks are adorable and extremely photogenic. While sharks dont have a tongue, one cheeky baby seemingly poked a tongue out at me! Sharks do have a structure on the floor of their mouths called a 'basihyal'. It's usually unmovable but some movement may be possible in young PJs. (thanks to Prof. Bill Gladstone for his knowledge on this, and Bill and Adam for being buddies on the dive)
I've been unscientific in attributing emotions to the sharks in some images!

Honoured to be awarded an Honourable Mention in the Conservation category for this image of a fur seal tangled in fishing line. The Underwater Awards is a wonderful annual competition that features images from many fabulous photographers.

Hundreds of people were in raptures after swimming with a rare sunfish or mola in the bay. The diversity in this sanctuary zone is extraordinary. Why don’t we have more fully protected areas? How good would that be for us and marine life! If you would like that you can go to www.saveourmarinelife.com and support a petition to do just that!

On Sunday people had the rare and unusual opportunity to swim with a Mola or Sunfish. These are one of the largest bony fish in the ocean, that live in deep water and feed largely on salps and sea jellies.

As luck would have it my buddy entered the water just after 8am and i were the first to see it. When i first saw its distinctive shape in the murky distance, i grabbed his leg and pointed in disbelief. I thought we might only have one opportunity to record the sighting, so i passed him my gopro, as i had a small camera. We approached very slowly. There was an initial moment of possible nervousness, i assume the animal had never encountered noisy bubble-blowing divers before. The sunfish was being cleaned, and remarkably then decided to completely relax and ignore us for the rest of the dive. What an absolute privledge and exciting wildlife encounter.

Other dive groups joined and as news spread over the morning, many other divers, freedivers and swimmers were also able to witness this beautiful animal, as it stayed in the bay (and just outside) for most of the day.

Here are a few photos. Still buzzing and feeling incredibly lucky

Port Jackson sharks have arrived in numbers in Cabbage Tree Bay and many locations along the east coast. They aggregate in shallower waters to lay eggs and breed. Unfortunately its not all fun and games and one adult tragically fell prey to a large gulf wobbegong. Wobbegongs swallow prey whole, and a meal this size took hours to consume. I've seen photos of this before. The two shark species can often be seen together in gutters and caves, but its unsafe for the PJs if the size difference is too great. Nature is both wonderful and brutal.

A few tropical species continue to live on in the 17 degree water. Basil the turtle is always around. A large sting ray and grey nurse shark. Winter diving conditions often bring good viz water clarity, although yesterday was pretty green.

Thanks to Sony whose cameras ive been using for more than a decade, and congrats to all photographers involved. I think winners are usually announced early in the new year.

Just arrived at beautiful Awera Resort in the Mentawai Islands in West Sumatra, Indonesia. An area famous for its surf breaks, this resort is now pioneering scuba diving in the Mentawai area. Looking forward to getting underwater and being one of the first to see the amazing marine life of this area. Maybe even squeeze a surf in!
