Pelamis platurus (Sea Snake) pics

Beautiful! Hope it survives well. When I lived in cairns and dived/worked on the b.Reef, often we would have olive sea snakes show up nudging in around my hands as I over turned rocks to find fish and star fish. They are very quiet, not at all agressive and very curious. Especially when you turn the rocks over they love to push in and see what is there..opportunists for a free feed! Amazing creatures. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Here is a pic I took on the Coral Sea, QLD. I believe its an Olive Sea Snake (Aipysurus laevis).

I've picked up a few but the highlight was a large totally black one at Bondi. I left it at the Sydney Aquarium but it wasn't looking good.

Totally black? well that would of been worth a few pics, never heard of any being all black... I guess now I have.
