Fiddler Ray Eyeball

Dragonet

Taken in about .5m of water at Linley Point, Mornington Victoria. The last three times I have dived this area I have found this dragonet hiding under the same rock I use to climb out of the water. Just goes to show how we can swim over some fascinating creatures in our quest to get to that so called "better spot".
