Each year humpback whales migrate from their feeding grounds in the Southern Ocean to the Austral Islands, where they use the sheltered waters around Rurutu as a calving and nursing area. Observers there can document the whales’ natural behaviors with minimal disturbance.

The Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) is the only pinniped endemic to Australia.

Our dive guide pointed out a Nassau grouper at a cleaning station in Little Cayman. As I watched it opening and closing its mouth, I thought I saw a rock or some algae on the fish’s side.
