Viewing from San Francisco, California, Mark. I had heard of Lord Howe Island. I enjoyed your video and look forward to visiting there some day. I have friends who have been to Norfolk Island to paddle outrigger canoes there. A very different topology indeed. I will visit your website. Thanks for the initial introduction to this beautiful place. I have not been to the land of Oz yet, but plan to.

Thank you Roji. I very much appreciate your feedback on the recently posted video. If you come to Australia - and I hope you do - you should include a visit to Lord Howe Island. As you say, it is very different in topography than Norfolk Island. But allow (ideally) two years of planning, because accommodation can be difficult to book within a year. Thanks too for looking at my website. The site (which needs updating) is on my book “Ocean of Self - Beneath the waves of our individual selves”. That book is a treatise on consciousness and spirituality related through my decades of ocean diving and meditation. I hope it’s a book to your liking

"How did it know?" I doubt that it did. But what did it have to lose by asking? Fish are often seen "asking" cleaner fish to clean them, so they know how to ask for help.

Perhaps, it's because people/boats manipulate rope and nets. Got rope all over you, well you've sensed ropes before, and seen people/boats produce, retract, manipulate etc… ropes/nets. You've also seem them catch little fish (like you do), but never whale sharks. Hmm, so where to go to have something happen with this rope, to try to move on from where you are now …

Thanks Mark, for posting this very valuable example of Australian Wreck Diving history which will no doubt be of great value to wreck divers and historians alike. I recall attending the premiere of "Diving into the Past" in Sydney when it was greeted with acclaim by the local dive fraternity and survivors at the time. All in the days before dive computers and nitrox mixes, when the formidable challenges of deep wreck diving made this accomplishment all the more special.

How indeed. The behaviour of large sea creatures to seek out other species for cleaning etc. Is clear enough. It's already familiar with the concept of service. But, from that to seeking out a specific surface dwelling tool wielding species, facilitate and give it enough time to do a complex operation likely without ever having done it before or having seen it done to another, is nothing short of baffling. I've long since abandoned the notion that animals in general are stupid. First the field started opening up with the (presumably) most intelligent species like great apes, corvids, elephants etc. But now I see all kinds of creatures do all kinds of amazing cerebral things. Ancient creatures that have been understood to not have changed in millions of years and exist in (presumably) fairly simple, repetitive life cycles. And even plants, with their various forms of consciousness. So, in a funny way it seems like we're potentially doing a circle back to something akin to animism, where it's time to let go of our lofty ideas of our knowledge and unique position in the universe, and realize that we were just foolish egomaniacs all along.

We have for the longest time thought ourselves almost exclusively at the top of an intelligence pyramid. It's a thought model that has placated our ancient fears. As we progress (which is measure by how much we fear) the intelligence thought model changes as well. Although not fully delineated we are conscious that there is an interconnectedness with creation. The multiplying stories such this example provide an overwhelming body of evidence that intelligence and the ability to seek and give compassion is not the exclusive domain of mankind.
