I have never seen a good underwater photo taken in the harbour at any real depth.

I would love to ID the carriers in the harbour, but it is not an easy task.

During the "Dry", visibility in the harbour is reputed to be 14m. See Darwin Dive Centre for a couple of pics, but not much of what "We" want!
