Hairy seaweed crabs, krill, shield shell and boisterous Raumati, a New Zealand sea lion (who just happens to poop in front of me ;) Note: On intial research and with current sightings listed on the database as unknown sex and with such light colouration we thought Raumati was a young female. But have since found out Raumati was listed as male when tagged as a pup. So Raumati is listed as a 2 ye...

Great shallow club dive for relaxing while taking macro and microscopic photos of the wide variety of sea life. Bright sponges, ascidians, kelp, hydroids, mollusks and anenome which provide refuge and food for nudibranch, crabs, fish, seahorses, octopus and a lot more. Temperature was 8 degrees on this dive.

Went out in the wind near ponds to look for frogs and heard plenty of Litoria ewingii calling but couldn't find them, they were well hidden and went quiet if I got too close. No sign of spawning yet on grass or near water and no tadpoles yet. Went out as sun was going down at 7pm and hear one or two by 7:30pm there was a whole chorus in the dark.

This is a clinid species and is found in New South Wales, Australia and Northern New Zealand. It's main threat is kelp die off due to kina overpopulation, as they need the kelp to survive in. Over fishing of species that prey on kina, like snapper, is the usually the reason for kina barrens appearing in areas. We saw this swimming above the kelp and then land in the kelp, scuba diving on a priv...
