Home to about 22, people it has a long history of supporting industry in a fairly remote location. And has had its highs and lows over the years, but is currently on a partial high I think. It has a great spirit and a lot of hard-working, down to earth, good people.

But, this one really is different because I am not selling anything. It's simply my way of letting you know about new stuff on Indopacificimages. During the current pandemic I have updated the site completely, plus made it easier to navigate and find useful stuff to help you plan your next trip.

Wow, these pictures are so beautiful! Such beautiful creatures — thank you for all the information! Thanks for highlighting this adventure. Hi Julie — definitely worth trying to schedule a work trip during winter and stay on for the weekend.

What an amazing experience! Still, an excuse to come back…! Stunning photos…. Thanks Bree. I remember picking up the cuttlefish from the beach for our birds, so much better seeing them underwater! Question; would it be possible and socially acceptable to do this in a… dry suit?

Below 20 degrees water is far too cold for me, even in 7mm wet suit… but this is way more appealing to me than dolphins and seals! It is really cold and it will help you stay in for a bit longer.

What a great experience to swim with Giant Cuttlefish! Lovely to watch them swimming and changing colour. Hi Alma — it was a very special experience, the sheer number of cuttlefish in one spot was incredible. Oh my gosh, they look absolutely amazing! May I ask what camera you used for these photos?

Seems like the perfect device to capture such an awesome experience! It worked best when we discovered there was a light on the front and I managed to get down close to the cuttlefish!! Haha they kind of have a cool name, but I am not sure if I would call them beautiful or even cute.

Ann they are certainly very strange, something you might expect in a science fiction movie. Hard to take your eyes off them but in the end the cold water got the better of us!
