This was probably a Female, with length of nearly 1.5 meters. Males are usually smaller in size. Although venomous, they are not known to be aggressive and not likely to attack or bite human/divers unless seriously provoked. They spend most of their time underwater, coming out to land to digest, rest and reproduce. They can be seen at night on land among rock crevices.

It is a fantastic spotting!
Thanks, @Ashley for the nomination.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
