Just thought I'd share some photos from a recent snorkelling trip to the Southern Islands, to show you how awesome our marine life is! (I have said it before though!!).
And I was extremely lucky that day to have encountered a yellow-lipped sea krait hunting... Here's a video of it! If you do see a sea snake while you are out snorkelling/diving anywhere, do bear in mind that they are quite venomous. Before getting close to this one, I observed it for a while to determine that it did not feel threatened by my presence.
Carpet anemone. Can you spot the little anemone fish? |
