That place looks insane!!!

You have some nice shots, between the one you didn't filter.

Nice picture.... This grouper is one MEGA fish:)

The fish is bigger and bigger , but coral is worse and worse .

Looks like you had great vis Perry! I first dove the Yongala in 86 and the night dive we did on that wonderful site is still one of my top five of all time.

Thanks for sharing it with us

The visibility is not good ( 10-15 meters ), night dive should be wonderful, the car-sized grouper ( VW ) is still there, but usually come out in the night time. anyway, more than 4 giant grouper ( more than 2 meters ) can be found .

Nice shots, you did better than me on vis. I was there last July and while I knew the vis was likely to be bad, I was hoping for better than temperate Melbourne! It was lighter and you could see quite a long way, but there was a lot of particles in the water and all of my shots are very spotty. I moved my strobes further and further out to the point where they weren't actually lighting the shots...still spotty. But then a few friends who were there the week before didn't get out at all, so I can't complain too much.
