Flutemouth The first (oldest) entry of the "news" section on this webpage shows a flutemouth photographed at Pyramid rock. This one was photographed in shallow water at A-Frame. Swimming just below the surface it seemed to be quite healthy, dodging both the surge and kelp. I have now seen two individuals, and other divers have seen more, so it seems it is quite a regular visitor to our waters; whether intentional or accidental is not known.
