Cool. Did you get out the back of the reef? There was a few schools of bigger fish and lots of swim-thru sections...
We saw three rays in the shallows, but missed the Port Jackson - although we have seen them there before. Great spot when the swell is down...
Soundtracks is Jack Johnson's
GPA, this is just a snorkel in the shallows, tried to chase the dolphins for a bit and get further out (poor effort on my behalf though and no surprises there 
)
One thing keeps me amazed about it is how you can do this within driving distance (some ppl have to get on planes for this). Saw a few plastic bags deep in the sand though , tried to pull them out the best I could but just sucks how they are there in first place.....
I'm always disapponted in pictures and movies that I take underwater.
None of the rainbow colours in the fish scales and corals come out in the pictures.
Specially pics from up north where some of the colors are nothing short of spectacular. Some of the fish and corals seem to light up like chrismas trees when you look at them but when you look at the movies or pics, they're just greeny colored fish. 
ANy colors that do show up are just flat and lifeless rather than the electric blues and greens that I saw in the water. All very disappointing.
Only very rarely does a picture come up anywhere near what I see when I'm there.
Mettam's is a great little spot, espiecially for kids. I have taken a few groups of special needs kids out from there, and they love it once they get their heads in the water. Though sometimes my hand has lost all the blood in it from "don't you dare let me go" grip.
Colours underwater can be recovered by adjusting the levels, easier done with stills. They come up pretty well after adjustments.

this was filmed using Lumix DMC something something...the underwater one. Although the quality before any processing is heaps better than in this video (I had to re size this heaps, otherwise my laptop just dies and also tried to edit the levels like begs suggested as well so the colors are not authentic sort of speak either) I wouldn't recommend it. Don't know much about cameras, but from what I've seen you could get much (MUCH) better results by getting a standard non water proof camera heaps cheaper than this and then getting a water proof housing for it. Mine's pretty old now though, so maybe there s something better around.
