This short video reflects on the beautiful colours across the structures and pylons at Rapid Bay Jetty. Also, the elusive Leafy Sea Dragon can be seen in this video,
Rapid Bay Jetty is a beautiful dive, and highly regarded as a premiere jetty dive, world-wide, Often drawing divers from around the globe, in the hope they cast their eyes on the Leafy Sea Dragon.
For an overview of the dive site do not hesitate to look at one of my earlier day video’s of Rapid Bay Jetty.
Thanks for Watching.

Great footage, just a shame about the elevator music.
thanks for the video comment. The music is “Summers Day” from Incompetech. Royalty free, so I am grateful to have access to it. Figured some people may not like it, yet I have people that have commented to me that they do. Go figure. A subjective world we live in. Thanks and appreciate your feed-back.
Only seen 2 of your videos and I can already tell I’m going to be obsessed
Thanks for the kind comment.
Thanks for sharing. Very peaceful. Not common to see swimming polychaetes. Green critter from 2:15 to 2: 19 is likely an epitoke (reproductive form) of a worm in Eunicidae. Probably an undescribed species. Nerdy fact of the day: in some families of worms (but not the one in your video), during the reproductive period, segments of the worm metamorphose into a stage filled with masses of sperms and eggs, and become swimming forms. In other groups, such as the Nereididae (= Nereidae) and the Eunicidae, the entire worm becomes an epitoke, as in the example you have here. At night, often on moonless nights, the worms swarm in the water column, and during the swimming stage, when the adults die, they disintegrate and release eggs and sperm into the water column.
There were sightings of the same dark green species last summer at Edithburgh too, also during night dives.
Thanks JL B. Never seen these at RB before. There were more. probably have raw footage.
