Great Day Out on the Water!

Despite forcasts, the wind was minimal and the ocean flat, which were the exact conditions that I dived in today. Taking my camera out for a test drive again brought immense disapointment as again it leaked after being replaced by the manufacturer. But despite this mishap and not being able to take the camera on the second dive, I think I ended up taking some of my best photos I have ever taken. Here are some of the best:

After going down, a ledge stretching for about 5-6m had at least a full bag limit of crayfish underneath. These are some of the first ones I found.


After looking under the ledge I turned around and 3 enormous Bull Rays glided past. They were roughly 1.7m in diameter. This is not one of my best photos though...


This is one of favourites, the yellow and pink soft coral polyps are absolutely amazing to look at. These were in abundance on the roof of a large cave i ventured into.


A starfish (Mosaic Sea Star) just for you Joe


An amazing Venusta Cowrie that I found gave me a great opportunity to have a photo out in the open. These cowries are quite uncommon now as they used to be taken off the reef for their beautiful shells. Taking one from the rock usually means another dies, as they move minimally, they usually have 1 mate that dies if the other is taken. Sadly this means that they are quite a rare find now.
Hope you enjoyed my photos and hopefully i get my camera fixed so you can enjoy more!
