  • It took me about three hours to get face to face with this tiny yellowfin shrimp goby, which was in about seven metres of water. A female dugong and her baby watched me while I was waiting for this fish, something I didn't realise until after I finished and backed off slowly from the goby. Given that my lens was set for 5x lifetime magnification, there was no hope of taking pictures of the dugongs, so I settled for enjoying their company.
