Nice dive with Lynne today at Mornington Pier, Victoria.

conditions were great above but just ok under the pier.  like always the dive here can be somewhat prone to low vis and a bit of a muck dive under the pier.
Life appears to be returning to the pier after the re-modelling but today not huge amounts of fish life.

A nice night dive on the new pier in Mornington. Dive buddies Craig , Simon & Remi.

Not a bad night but vis was on the lower side , but the creatures are starting to return, will be a very good spot in years to come.

Nice lazy sunday dive with Lynne, at Mornington Pier. The fish life is returning and although the vis was  low it was still a pleasant dive of 55 minutes with 9.1 metres and a sea temp of 17c.

Old Wives return to Pier in good numbers!

 

New Mornington Pier

Mornington Pier

A new dive at the renovated pier, entry and exits are now easy with low landings and new scuba friendly ladders.  Sealife is starting to come back but will take a while , but still a nice dive, with lots of different areas from the cave like conditions at the start of the pier to the nice section under the pier , the front section with the rock wall offers lots of nooks to explore.

Mornington and Flinders Piers.

Morning ton and Flinders Pier

A classic day of pier hopping , lunch and celebratory drink at the pub afterward.. What I love about Diving!  thanks JJ, Ad, Brit for a great day!

 Mornington Pier, Construction works are still impacting this site, but on a stormy day it was generally calm, and following the pier to the end,where you have depth you can safely go around the seaward side and explore the rocks, for rays, cuttlefish and sea horses.  pity my camera work wasn't better a lot of blurred photos.

Mornington Pier

With Lynne and Craig, good dive on a very nice day under the pier.

Easy dive , entry via giant stride, ladder exit (or use ledge at start of pier

 to drop gear for easier exit),  stick to under pier and around outside rock wall, end of pier is now fishing free due to break in pier so improves dive and fish numbers. Didn't see any cuttle fish that can be found on the outside rock wall back toward shore.

- Normal conditions for the pier, vis only so so. 

- Fishermen plentiful 

- Started the dive with a semi drift on the outgoing tide around to the point, very nice way to avoid the lines, finished back to the top of the pier and then down.

A nice early morning dive at mornington pier With Lynn , Helen, Peter.
Pier is in state of repair and is missing the middle section.
However the thing for me was to try out some new camera settings, after reading an article on using f stops underwater.

So the theory goes that using a higher f stop allows the back ground to become black or blue, thereby highlighting the subject more.
