Join us in Whyalla and Port Lincoln, South Australia for one of nature’s great events-  the Australian Giant Cuttlefish aggregation.  Each winter, tens of thousands of Australian Giant Cuttlefish gather to mate and spawn. This mass event happens nowhere else in the world. These cuttlefish are endemic to south Australia and have a very short life cycle of 2 years, which means the need to mate in such large numbers ensures the success of generations to come.

No matter what level of photography or videography experience you have, Scott Portelli will be on hand daily to help you get the most out of your trip.  There will be time each evening to review and edit your images to optimise your photography and improve your approach.

This will be a small group expedition, maximum 4 people, suitable for certified SCUBA divers with temperate water experience.

Learn about cuttlefish behaviour and how to get the best opportunity in the water with them and the Leafy Seadragons.
