Planula Bed and Breakfast Retreat, Byron Bay

Leopard Shark season is long from over it seems. Plenty of those beautiful, docile sharks hanging out.

Surprise! More Grey Nurse Sharks too.

Rapidly developing clownfish eggs can be found under several anemones. Little comma shapes can be seen wriggling inside their orange shelter.

Eagle rays were seen in ones or twos. Our turtles are still there to the delight of most divers and snorkellers. Large Queensland Grouper and a few pelagics.
