Below are just some of my latest dives.

The very last dive of the trip on Northern Arch was simply mind boggling. There were stingrays all over the site.

Stingrays

It was basically impossible to take a picture without stingrays in it. It was absolutely joyous following them around. More than once I'd be focused on a stingray in front of me and I'd turn my head and see more stingray a metre or two away from me.

As the boat was leaving Poor Knights Islands, we got an amazing send off by a flock of shearwater birds flying along with the boat. A fitting end to an incredible trip.

Off to the next dive site of the morning. The Poor Knights Islands are just jaw droppingly beautiful.

Cream Gardens

There was word that sharks had been seen on the site so everyone was eager to get into the water in the hopes of spotting one. Unfortunately we didn't see one but there was plenty of life on the site and a rather large kingfish was hanging out right under the boat at the end of the dive.

We woke up on the second day of the live aboard and it was time to go diving. We made our way to Baron Arch. Yet another new dive site for me at Poor Knights Island.

Lots of life on the site. Pretty great way to wake up.

A group of five kingfish buzzed by us which was very cool.

At the end of the dive, I saw these tiny little jellyfish with deep red interiors. Really very cool.
