One of the most amazing sea creatures to inhabit our coastal waters is the Australian giant cuttlefish, Sepia apama.

Aside from being the world’s largest cuttlefish species, it is also one of the most curious and engaging and will interact for ages if you want to play. This one at Port Noarlunga was curious enough though on past dives I have had them attempt to breathe from my regulator and pull my mask off!

I am looking forward to another dive here again soon.
