Giant Cuttlefish  Sepia apama


From a dive today at Oak Park, near Cronulla in the south of Sydney.  Swimming back at the end of the dive I spotted this giant cuttlefish displaying squeezed off this one shot before it disappeared.  It's mating season currently and you can see this one is putting on a good display.
