Swan River Crayfish

My boss's son has just started diving the swan and came across one of these... pretty sure thats not the usual prawn you catch in the swan.  Would like to know what sort it is if theres anyone here that dives the swan.  Two of them and you have a meal thats for sure...

Few around at the moment by the sounds of it.- got one last week, but not that big. Just got back from filling up tanks and the owner of the diver store was showing me a photo of one about that big as well.

 

I'm guessing a Black Tiger Prawn by the white stripes?

 

 

Pretty sure these are of a Blrown Tiger Prawn....

 At night but even caught a few in daytime as you can easily see their eyes poking thru the sand
