Reef Buddies

Happy New Year everyone! Common seahorses like this can be found around most of Sydney's beaches, for example at Camp Cove inside the harbour near the south head. Sent in by user bkassab, this image is our Picture of the Month for January 2010.

If you have a nice picture that you would like displayed here, please email it to us!

This month we have picked a beautiful turtle cruising the upper layers of the Great Barrier Reef sent in by user fady. Uploading your images is very easy, simply go to the Picture Gallery, create a new album, and upload your images online to share with other divers!

For our Picture of the Month July 2009, we have come across this beautifully coloured nudiebranch. Nudibranch, which comes from the Latin nudus, naked, and the Greek brankhia, gills, is a soft-bodied, shell-less organisam commonly known as sea slug. They often display striking colours and mastery of disguise.

If you have pictures like these on your underwater camera, upload them to your member profile, and yours might be the next picture featured here!

If you are interested in learning how to take great underwater photographs, what equipment to use and how to work with lighting and distances under water, it might be a good idea to take an underwater photography course. Find your nearest dive centre to enquire about courses and take your diving experience to the next level! We look forward to seeing your images on Reef Buddies.
