Emma Shearer was one of the lucky divers to be on our recent holiday onboard Mike Ball’s Spoilsport on the Great Barrier Reef.

This trip along the Ribbon Reefs to the Cod Hole and other great sites also delivered some exceptional Dwarf Minke Whale encounters.

This 6m female is a regular named ‘Pavlova’.

Emma used her Sea & Sea 8000G digital camera and housing with a wide angle lens to capture this fantastic image.

We love the great composition and the way that you can feel Pavlova’s curiosity.  Kevin was even feeling jealous when he saw this picture...his comment was “I wish I took that!”

Great work Emma!
