REMARKS

Comb jellies are one of the more noticeable members of the plankton community due to their relatively large size.

Flashing all the colours of the rainbow as sun rays reflect off bands of beating hairs, comb jellies are some of the most intricate and delicate creatures to be encountered underwater.

These creatures make beautiful subjects for night time photography.

How Do Fish Communicate
The colour of fish is one of the main forms of communication. With most fish lacking any form of vocalisation, the only way to communicate is by sight. This is very important at breeding time and camouflage is another aspect which makes them less vulnerable to predators and also helps them blend into the corals.

Low Isles, Great Barrier Reef Island

Sail on Wavedancer to an idyllic island. Snorkel, view turtles, explore the island with a marine biologist or just relax under a thatched umbrella.

Looking forward to spending the day with you
