Creature of the Night

Head out onto the seagrass beds on a Port Noarlunga Night dive and there will be crabs everywhere.

At first they will hold their ground, threaten with claws and appear stalwartly menacing.

Get a little closer and they will scurry away to stand their ground again from a safer distance.

The challenge is not one of getting chomped but simply getting close enough for a photo.
