Come along in June to see the magnificent giant cuttlefish breed.
Every year between the months of May and September,
thousands of Giant Australian Cuttlefish (Sepia apama) descend on the rocky
coastline between Fitzgerald Bay and False Bay. These amazing ‘chameleons of
the sea’ are one of the largest species of cuttlefish found in the world; and
can reach up to 60 cm in length and can weigh up to 5kg.
The migration by these majestic creatures to these waters is for the sole purpose of spawning. During these months, the female attaches her eggs to the underside of the rocky ledges around the area. The male then fertilises these eggs, which hatch a couple of months later. The males can only reproduce once, and as with the females die not long after.
It will be a fun road trip with the Academy of Scuba gang. Price is to be advised but contact us and we can get things started for you. This is a trip which will be worth taking a day off work.
