He's ba-a-a-a-a-ck, Part two

Please don't miss my first post on this fabulous trip to South Australia, just below this one.  Now for part two!

That is Big Bro, a big shark, searching for the bait. If you look in the water in the background, you see a messy kind of mist affecting the picture.
The shot above shows you where that comes from:  It cost me lots of pictures--think of it as sharks in a snowstorm. Sigh.
However, there were some really good dives where the cages weren't being tossed around by the swells.

That's our pal Big Bro as he prowls in the open water.
We also had another sea lion entertainment. A sea lion came to the boat and repeatedly buzzed Little Bro.
The pesky sea lion henpecked poor old Little Bro unmercifully.

It all ended in a kamikaze attack.

Little Bro lost interest in the sea lion, and the sea lion drifted off. Later, Little Bro made an amazingly savage attack on a handing bait.


I surely had a lot of fun dodging the big teeth as the big bull known as Big Brother came by!!! Sometimes I pulled the camera back as here with not much time to spare.



That was another shot from Mark Enarson's polecam. His series of shots taken while standing on the rear platform  are a great souvenir for me!
