3 | It was such a beautiful day out there at Julian Rocks, and the conditions were epic, with lots of marine life to see |
6 | Thanks for another round of stunning footage @finsandphotography |
1 | This is a lion's mane jellyfish, one of the largest animals in the world. You can see it being torn to pieces by the turtle. This doesn't make the turtle good or bad, it's just nature. Same as a shark would eat a fish. It's part of the animal kingdom and the cycle of life. Sharks are not bad, turtles are not good, animals are just animals and we should be grateful for being able to experience the wonders of the natural world |
8 | Julian Rocks, Byron Bay, Australia |
9 | I’ve had the most amazing two days out discovering Julian Rocks (Nguthungulli) with @outoftheblueadventures . On this day we saw around 20 of these leopard sharks! Nowhere else in the world can you have an experience like this. If you’re on the east coast of Australia in the summer you can’t miss this spectacle |
5 | Let me show you around in a guided freedive session. Message me for details:) |

1 | Between the gorgeous colours of the reef at Julian Rocks and the incredible leopard shark pattern, sometimes you just don't know where to look during your dives |
6 | Next dates: 18-20 October â¤ï¸ some images are Yuko’s own and the rest are by our fantastic photographer and co-owner of Sundive Byron Bay @scaprodossi |
5 | @scubascribbles, @kikidives, and @ricksteveseurope - come diving with us! The water is brilliant! |
1 | We took a boat there and saw two dolphins on the way there...then we went to watch humpback whales breaching (thanks Byron Bay Dive Centre for the personal whale watching session). At the snorkeling spot we saw: Grey nursing sharks, Wobbegong shark (wobble), sea turtle, sting ray and eagle ray, octopus & eel + dory and plenty of other fish We were there in the afternoon - 2pm |

5 | My new favourite place to freedive! |
1 | This time of year you can expect to find green, hawksbill and loggerhead turtles, leopard sharks, white spotted eagle rays, manta rays + so much more |
1 | There were so many leopard sharks that they seemed to be stumbling upon one another simply trying to navigate around the rocks There was a family of eagle rays (led by one of the largest I???ve seen) cruising around the shallows all of which were very relaxed. Then, every now and then Ted the loggerhead turtle would pop his giant noggin up to say hello We also had the usual green and hawksbill sea turtles cruising around, massive schools of fish life and a variety of other shark and ray species. |

2 | Conditions were far from favourable and we weren???t optimistic we were even going to get the chance to get in the water, but thanks to the team at @sundivebyronbay we managed a morning scuba dive and it wasn???t until the very end of the dive, when I???d all but given up hope, that we finally saw one! |

2 | I was missing this so much , I can???t believe it, is the first time I do scuba diving in Aussie land after 4 1/2 years here, it???s been my dream but I made it happen perfect gift to myself on my Bday. yeeeeiiiiiiii my place to be under the water. Stunning place in Byron bay! One of the best dives that I have done I was not planning this but so far is the best of this trip. Unplanned things always are the best. I even didn???t know or heard before about this place, i always dreamed diving in the great barrier ( I???ll be there for sure ??) but Australia is not only the great barrier there is so many more awesome places to discover. I felt like a fish in the water again. I can't explain what it feels like to be underwater, it the best way to really disconnect from this world and explore another totally different, relaxed and terrific place. |

4 | After a week of rain, I???m really missing the beautiful blue waters, and masses of leopard sharks we had last weekend. Take me back |

6 | There's actually a lot to still be learnt about these gorgeous creatures still. To help scientists understand their behaviour better, you can contribute by posting pictures of their left side on leopardshark.wildbook.org to try identifying them or even discovering you own new shark when diving at Julian Rocks. |
3 | Solid little trip, saw some insane thunderstorms and wind around the rocks |
6 | Hopefully you???ll have the opportunity to swim with these gentle souls one day, but for now enjoy these images captured from my recent visit to this special location. |
1 | We saw leopard sharks, turtles and a guitar shark at the end of the dive! |
1 | A leopard shark in Byron Bay gliding effortlessly along with a slow move of its amazing tail. |
4 | We had another couple of fantastic dives today, but it looks like the next few days will bring some wild weather. Fingers crossed it settles down quickly! @adriancoxphoto |
9 | Have met and seen some incredible humans and wildlife and shared incredible times with you all Thankyou ?? |
5 | Big thank you to Luigi from @byronbaydivecentre for diving down deeper than I could and getting these incredible shots for me! |
5 | If anyone is up Byron Bay to GC way and wants to take up free diving, I would highly recommend to reach out to Julia or @scottwilsonimagery. The professionalism and care taking of making you feel comfortable but most importantly safe, has allowed me to push my PB depth to 21.5m. |
5 | You ever know what might happen on a dive, and after some questionable visibility it was such a treat to see |
5 | Another incredible weekend of running Freediving courses on the Gold Coast and Byron Bay - DM me to book in! |
1 | We Sow mantas and leopard sharks! Amaizing! |
1 | and our usual leopards and turtles came to say hi! |
1 | Manta Rays, leopard sharks, Eagle rays,turtles, lots of tropical fish. |
5 | Choppy on the surface, but fantastic diving: A Manta, lots of Eagle Rays, Leopard Sharks and a big school of Cownose Rays. |
4 | I took a couple of snaps as this cruiser continued its journey through the deep blue, the weathers been extremely hit & miss lately for free diving, but I???m looking forward to getting back out there soon |
7 | Remember that the ocean is home to many marine species and protect it as much as you can |
6 | Keen to share all the shots I got from this beautiful place. Never fails to amaze every time I visit. |
6 | It was like diving in an aquarium. Turtles, leopard sharks, manta rays, spotted eagle rays and cow nose rays. In my last turtle post I spoke about photographing a turtle coming up for air for the first time. Well, this is the second time. It goes without saying that I was in the right place at the right time because this photo has blown me out of the water. Practise makes perfect |
6 | I???ve never been happier in my life as I am today. I feel so blessed - thank you to everyone who continues to show support & interest in my work I can???t wait for what???s ahead for the rest of the leopard shark season! |
3 | Julian Rocks is located approx. 2.5km off Main Beach, Byron Bay. They're a bunch of rocks that you wouldn't even think harbours a diverse range of marine life due to the mix of temperate and tropical waters that hit the rocks. Surf's not bad either ??? |
1 | I've had a few people say that this Turtle looks like he is serving a tennis ball or swimming freestyle, I think he is recognising his handsomeness and simply taking an old fashioned bow. |
5 | Thanks to all my divers, and a HUGE thanks to the crew from Byron Bay Dive Centre for making us feel safe and welcome at your shop and for the very adventurous beach launches! We hope to show you the same hospitality when you head up our way! |
5 | Our guide, @waveofwellness , who has snorkeled all over the world, said it???s the best she???s ever seen! We???ll be heading back soon! |
4 | Hopefully these guys will be waiting for us out there again when the ocean has settled a bit... |
4 | Hopefully the weather is collaborative and we can keep hanging with these guys in the next few days with @sundivebyronbay. |
6 | I have swam with over 12 species of Shark in my journey as an underwater wildlife & ocean photographer, when I???m down there swimming & engaging with these sharks all sense of preexisting fear is eradicated by face value connection. I can???t help by look at them with compassion knowing the darkness thats shed over particular species. The greatest despite of fear is being scared of something you???ve never approached or tried. |
6 | ?? Are you keen on meeting some of Australia???s local animals? Message us, and we share more animal encounter opportunities with you!? |
1 | At least I saw some leopard sharks from the surface mostly, and some Spotted Eagle Rays which were really beautiful. |
8 | Steve Irwin (crocodile hunter) died in September 4 2006 in a accident with a Australian Bull Ray. |
3 | We had the best day at Julian rocks with amazing warm blue water and so much marine life! |
6 | Both species can grow up to 3.5 metres or more and both are grey to bronze on the back with dusky tips on the pelvic and pectoral fins. One way of definitely telling the difference is that a dusky has a ridge running between its two dorsal fins. But this is difficult to pick from photos or videos taken from below the shark. A diver needs to be above the shark to detect the ridge. |
1 | Tourists often get to experience the curious nature of humpbacks when they spy hop next to a boat. This is just to check out what all the fuss is above the surface of the water. |
7 | Often unpredictable, the underwater world showcase natural spectacles of a rare beauty on a daily basis. I think it???s worth protecting, don???t you think? |
6 | Some windy weather the last few days made photography a tad harder today but Photograph taken at #julianrocks #byronbay whilst diving with @byronbaydivecentre |

7 | Hawksbill turtles are critically endangered, however are not recognised in NSW as a threatened species. This needs to change. Globally hawksbill turtles are hunted for their unique carapace (shell) to make tortoise shell products. Most haven???t had a chance to reproduce which leads to a reduction in their populations. It???s time to boycott tortoise shell products and eliminate the trade. The trade is illegal in Australia but not in surrounding countries. We think that this shell looks much better displayed on Gino rather than on ourselves. Also, be sure to check out @australian_seabird_rescuecc to read all about the beautiful little loggerhead, neve who was released as well |
6 | Love this photo? Visit my website (link in bio) to buy this and other photos on your very own canvas print. |
1 | Living in Byron Bay for 6 years, and believe it or not, this is the first time I had done this whale tour!!!! CRAZY RIGHT??? I've been lucky to see these beautiful creatures every year when they pass through Byron Bay, but only from a distance. ? |
1 | Check the moment a Wobbegong shark passes underneath the grey nurse shark, and a nice angle from another cool shark! loos scary but they are harmless! Beautiful noble creatures of the ocean! |
7 | Their east coast population is critically endangered. We were surrounded by 20 (might be 10% of the entire NSW subpopulation?!) circling us this morning. Thanks @sundivebyronbay for another incredible dive! |
1 | Lots of marine life to see: sharks, turtles, sting rays,colourful fish! |
