Snorkelling at Lizard Island

Peter had a great opportunity to snorkel with Paul and Barbara Banks from S.V. Aqua Safari, who have been diving at Lizard for 16 years and photographing the marine wildlife, including many nudibranchs.  Barbara’s photos appear in the Lizard Island Field Guide (a free App) and in the Australian Museum (owners of the L.I. Research Station) and she thinks that this year the coral reefs and marine species have recovered well from the last bleaching event and cyclone, which is great news.
