Join diver and underwater photographer Rod Sleath to learn about some of the amazing creatures that inhabit our own patch of the alien world of Jervis Bay.
We think of the Earth as a planet where the animals live and breathe in an atmosphere of air. But in fact, 71% of our planet is covered in water, and 78% of animal biomass resides in our oceans.
The most extensive habitat on our planet is liquid, the vast majority of animals that live there have to extract oxygen from water, which by volume is only 1% in water, versus 21% in the air we surface dwellers breathe.
