Rust in Peace! Wrecks, wrecks and more wrecks...

[Dave H 0]

I've just returned from a weeks diving on the MV Esperance Star where we went searching for some wrecks off the south Queensland coast.

 

For the first time in years I swapped from macro / marine species photography to wide angle. I used a Light and Motion 12mm? wet lens on the front of my CP5000.

 

The images from the trip can be seen here:

The fish life of these wrecks is the BEST I have ever seen. Here's a couple of examples:

 

Descending on the Shannon 2 - Fishing Trawler sunk in 2001 - Depth 47 Metres

 

The wreck of the Barcoola - 44 Metres deep

 

The wreck of the Cetacea - Sank in 1992 - 33 Metres deep

Oh yeah, and I did manage a couple of dives at Lady Musgrave Island where I got to ditch the wide angle... give me critters anyday!!!

 

Feeding Porcleain Crab

 

The Horns have it! Glossodrois rubroannulata

 

Are you talking to me? Pterois voiltans

I like the B/W on the Wreck but the Nudi is outstanding. Nice job Dave.
