More from my favourite area on the south coast. The colours and the clarity of the water is fantastic - dolphins, giant stingrays and other wonderful fish slipped by as I watched...

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
That's beautiful water. Around here the water is so dirty you can't see down more than about a foot.
10 Oct 2007 9:33pm
@Twelvebit: Oh dear Twelvebit that's not so good! What's polluting it? I travelled the whole east coast of Oz last year and the only polluted area I saw was in far north Queensland near Green Island - you couldn't see through your mask! Mind you I didn't go into the sea near large cities...
Craiger from Vacaville, California, United States
That water is so clear! Great shot!
10 Oct 2007 9:53pm
@Craiger: Thanks Craiger!
Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
"Pollution" may not be the right term. There is pollution around here, but many things can make the water "dirty" that I wouldn't call pollution. Algae for example, or simply turbidity. In this shot the water looks like it could be over a rocky/sandy bottom. A lot of the water around here is over muddy bottoms that are easily stirred up and make the water murky.
10 Oct 2007 10:09pm
@Twelvebit: Ah - thanks Twelvebit - yes this is over a rocky/sandy base - and taken from a pier over deep water looking in towards the shore so very clean. This area can be wild in a storm and probably turbulent too. Not much algae though.
@Reza: Thanks Reza!
@Claudio: Thanks for taking the time to comment Claudio - much appreciated!
