Ningaloo Reef near the Southern entrance to Coral Bay

2021

Seeing fish like this swimming over corals was where I got the bug to do underwater photography. This is my first attempt to capture the magnificent Ningaloo Reef, just off the cost, near the settlement of Coral bay. The off shore area I dive on is usually between five finger and the southern entrance to Coral Bay. .

The schools of yellow and black sstripped fish are jourvenile golden travally. We have eaten many of this adlt fish.

I was delighted to find the the tragedy that befell the reef in bill’s Bay has not affected life on Coral Bay’s Barrier reef as much. I was delighted to get to dance with a turtle and found the big cat shark that might be occasionally taking our fishing line.

I did not find the enormous schools of juvenile trevally or bald chin groper this time, but will keep looking.
