03/10/2004: "MACRO MARINE LIFE ...........the only dorsal fins were on fish."

We returned to Batt Reef off Port Douglas last weekend in the hope of filming tiger sharks that were so common last Tuesday. (See pictures which follow).

No tiger sharks sighted. Maybe a tidal factor? The only dorsal fin I saw was on this pretty but very tiny fish. To be continued........

Oct 7 2004 Port Douglas newspaper reports game fishermen killed two tiger sharks this week while trying to achieve a "ROYAL SLAM" (three 1000 pound sharks in a single day). So that's why we could not fiind the tigers last weekend!
