Great Barrier Reef WARNING LOTS OF PHOTOS!

Great Pics! I am surprised people have not offered to donate a small amount to help you buys your new camera in return for the continued pics. If a bunch of us just donated like $5-10, that wouldn't be so bad. In return you could send us our favorite pics files in high quality so we can print them out. What do you think? If you like the idea I would donate a few bucks to continue the see these pics.

Hey guys,
I'm in anguish at the moment as my S.S.Yongala trip was cancelled today at the last minute due to a high wind warning.
grrrr, oh how i wish i could control the weather!
Anyway, i'm flattered that you guys would be willing to pitch in towards a new camera.
Any donations would be rewarded with full resolution jpegs of the image(s) of your choice.
So how about this:
Anyone who feels like donating can do so via paypal (edroberts@optusnet.com.au).
All donators should send me a pm or post on this thread which image(s) they would like in return.
I will then email full resolution copys of the chosen images.
Anyone who is generous enough to donate can also have their pick of any other images which i post in the future.
I hope to give you guys many more marine adventures in the future!
vsnph: thanks for the kind words, i'll be up here for at least another year, probably more like 4 or 5. But i will never move far from the ocean, and hopefully i will just get a job that allows me to indulge that passion.

Thanks Stoney Mahony.
Never seen any Great Whites out on the reef, they are a cold water species and don't venture this far up the coast.
I have seen one small (7-8 feet) great white off Jervis Bay, which is 3 hours south of Sydney. They largely keep to themselves though. They are very sleek and powerful critters.
Camera Fund has kicked off, running total is at 1.53%, only 98.47% to go.
Hopefully it will all come together in time to make it out to the reef before i head back down to Sydney. Although i will go and visit Bluey again when i'm back down south, so there will be photos no matter where i am.

Thanks Apon!
Update on the weather; 3 metre swells and 25-30knot winds this week, so no diving for a while
On the plus side, the coral spawn is coming up soon, (30th or 1st) so fingers crossed that i can make it out for that!
Diving on the coral spawn night is one of the things on my 'to do before i die' list.

Your pics make me speechless, beauties....
What kind of jobs can you get with a marine biology degree?

Dyepes, i'm glad you enjoyed the photo!
Let me know if you're after any others and i'll see what i can do.
Coral spawn has come and gone for another year, but there is the prospect of another visit out to Wheeler Reef on the 13th. I haven't got my camera yet, but i'm hoping that i can get my hands on one just for the day so i can bring home some photos for you guys!
I'll let you know how it all turns out.
(My recent luck with diving has been rather crap though)
KeeperOfFish, jobs in marine bio are kinda like hens teeth. You have to be very, very good, and rather lucky to land a good one. But they are out there, just don't expect a lot of money to be involved. We marine biologists are in it for the lifestyle and the love of the ocean.
Good Luck!
