We will bring new vision as we acquire it and clips from our archives. We encourage you to like and follow our page, share, comment and ask questions.In this first video we are flying above a sponge reef in Batemans Bay, not far from the Batemans Bay township. It is about 16m deep and we see long stalked sea tulips, single tunicates, bryzoans, sponges and other life covering the hill. We fly over towards a peaceful blue grouper gliding above the landscape.
