25/01/2008: "CROWN OF THORNS STARFISH ...100's collected in The Swains"
Shown about 250 Crown of Thorns starfish - part of 1000 strung onto two spear lines by a couple of divers using a single tank of air each.
This was the infestation near Mystery Cay that shocked those on that dive.
Many thousands or coral eating starfish covered the reef - impossible to guesstimate their numbers in the short time we had there.
Our last dive after 14 days at sea before returning to the port of Yeppoon, 12 hours travel time away.
