Bramley's passion

Few people are more passionate about the giant cuttlefish in Whyalla than Tony Bramley of Whyalla Dive Services.

Tony did his first Scuba dive in 1963 and first dived with the giant cuttlefish in 1980 shortly after moving to Whyalla.

Since that time they’ve been through a lot together, including a fight for the survival of the species when over-fishing in the 90s almost wiped them out.

Tony said, in the beginning, divers in Whyalla didn’t really know what they were looking at with the cuttlefish.

“We didn’t think anything of it because it happened every year, we didn’t know it was unique.”

Now he has been a guide for thousands of people, and dozens of film crews and scientists from around the world who come to Whyalla to document this unique phenomenon...[Whyalla News]
