Last weekend we made a trip to Whyalla on South Australia\u2019s Spencer Gulf to frolic in the wintry ocean with our Giant Cuttlefish for their seasonal breeding congregation. <\/p>\n
This year I was delighted with the numbers, as hundred and hundreds of mating crazed cuttlefish could be found along the shallow coastline west from Port Lowley. <\/p>\n
As I have written before, this place is a rare treat for non-divers too with just snorkelling gear needed to completely experience the spectacle. There were in fact some places so shallow you could have stood with a pair of waders and a glass bottomed bucket and still got a good sense of the cuttlefish carry-on.<\/p>\n
We got to share this experience with a couple of our dearest friends as well as hopefully making new ones, both human and cephalapod!<\/p>\n
The Whyalla cuttlefish yet again remind me why I love South Australian diving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
