For 15 years my family and I visited Smoky Cape
Light House on our Christmas holidays. Each year I would stare misty eyed at Fish Rock and wonder what was living under that rock. Three years ago I decided I would give up a day of surfing and dive the rock. Weather stalled my first two attempts, but this year it all came together. I hope my little video helps to change peoples perceptions and that they will learn to love all marine creatures, especially our sharks. Cheers, David Forrest |
