Lisa snorkling Salmon bay, Rottnest Island , Western Australia by Marc Russo (Australia), on Flickr As you can see in the last image , Lisa was out snorkling while i was out taking photos. When i cam back i found a dugite sniffing through all out bags and snorkle bag. Lucky i had the go pro on a 2 meter pole and killed to birds with one stone. Used it to shoo it off and get some great footage. As you can see its didnt bite just reared up and bumpped the camera and wasnt agressive so it goes to show that they arnt the bad ass snake everyone makes out but you do have to be really carefull. If i wasnt paying attention i would of grabbed my camera bag and may have been bitten . Spent the rest of the day warning tourists. I couldnt be there all day/ week or year so i pit this vid together to show the dangers and to take care.. Here is the vid.....

Dugite
Never met a Dugite( ex country farm boy) where it was not a fight to the death.
As far as I know I am not a ghost writing this.
Who put a protection order on them. Canberra full of snacks (sic) is it.

Sea Snake
Just thought I'd mention last Thursday took the young bloke out on Palm Beach jetty to wet a few crab nets (zero crabs caught by anyone while we were there) there was a sea snake cruising around. I thought he was a bit far south but some people have said they see them occasionally offshore, but not usually so close to the beach?
Will definitely be keeping an eye out when snorkelling down there next!
