Many varieties of hard corals form the foundation of this beautiful reef.A fairyland fan coral garden adorns a steep wall.A crinoid, an animal related to starfish, stands sentinel on a red fan coral.
A large fluffy soft coral feeds in the currents that run along this reef wall.This hard table coral was over 6 feet in diameter.Judy inspects a large barrel sponge.
Judy enters Leru Cut, a deep fissure in the Russell Islands.A school of jacks flash in the foreground, with a large school of barracuda behind.A Hawksbill turtle soars overhead on a night dive.
A parrotfish sleeps in its cave at night.A two-foot long cuttlefish posed somewhat tremulously while several divers photographed it.A Lionfish ruffles past an elephant-ear sponge.
