How to tenderise your Cuttlefish....and observing a feeding Dusky - Video!
Submitted by Pete D on Thu, 2011-06-02 20:35
Did a couple of dives last Saturday. One was at Jackson Rocks near Rottnest.
Highlights of the vid;
*listen out for the ‘boofing’ of the Dusky as he feeds. Hence no music for this vid.
*watch the Cuttlefish arc up as a fish interrupted him getting a back scratch from me.

And no, the cuttle did not end up in my catch bag. He or she still swims

Cuttlies are like pets, but
Cuttlies are like pets, but are so good on the plate too. The brother is flying up in a couple of weeks and bringing us up a few to chew, probably what I miss eating the most from down south.

Pete didn't mention he had to get his glove dry-cleaned to get the cuttlefish spaff off it either.

Great footage, thanks for sharing . Amazing how they move around underwater effortlessly, didn't seem at all worried by you. Just reminds me of that dude from Pirates of the Caribean, that Geoffrey Rush plays...

Great work Pete. How's the water temp at the moment? See any cockroaches on the dive?
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Great footage Pete, It does
Great footage Pete, It does make you think twice about taking Cuttlfish as they always look like puppy dogs underwater.
Just wondering what sort of camera gear are you using for the vid. Clarity and focus was great.
