Leafy sea dragons, Rapid Bay , South Australia



We filmed this exactly 3 years ago, July 2004. The water temp was shocking cold, so we're both wearing a 6 mm over a 3mm wetsuits. We picked up tanks and weights locally and the shop owner gave us a trolley to transport our gear to the end of the jetty.
I think we found 3 leafies altogether but we were quite apprehensive of the fact that this is Great White country. Many divers have been taken close to this site!!!
There are 2 hooked fish in this video (I managed to free them) and lots of debris from the many fishermen who use the jetty. Jill actually got hooked on her BCD too. Its a shame that these cool seahorses arent in a protected zone.
