I went to Byron Bay for a dive at Julian Rocks. The water was approximately 10 metres visibility and still a little cold (by Byron standards – 20 degrees.) There’s a lot to see there with dancing turtles and the odd shark.

This bird swam down and pecked me in the head. It was chasing fish and went for my bubbles (or maybe... it was aiming for my head.)
