Flinders Pier

Flinders Pier, on a good day , the best pier dive in Victoria, on a bad day possibly the worst! Good job today was on of the best , great vis , near calm conditions and a high tide. (always check the tides for this pier otherwise you will not enjoy it at all, High tide  or near to is the only time  to go)

Mornington Pier

Mornington Pier

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.

HMAS Brisbane

HMAS Brisbane

A week of diving with Craig and Simon with James (Craig's friend) on the ex-HMAS Brisbane located on the sunshine coast. Great week, very good boat operators, night dive and two dives per day.  http://www.hmasbrisbane.com.au/

Diving on Brisbane and then quick trip to wolf rock, rainbow beach for diving with the grey nurse sharks.
A very wet boat ride, and very strong currents, but worthwhile to see a great number of sharks in one location. http://www.wolfrockdive.com.au/

Wolf Rock dive boat

First real use of my quick drawband twins, best investment for  boat diving yet.

Fiji Coral Coast Wall diving

Fiji Coral coast wall dives

Two good dives on the coral coast of fiji, this coast has extensive walls due to the rims of volcano being some 500 meters off shore, this is also a fantastic area for spending many hours simply snorkeling.

Fiji Shark Feeding

Shark Feeding Fiji

One of the most exciting dive days I have ever had, feeding sharks with the BEGA divers in FIJI, simply a must do if your ever in Fiji.   

A double dive with the first dive focused on bull sharks and the second on white and black tip reef sharks.
there were plenty of each to see and literally thousands of fish it is really something special.

Noorma

Noorma

A long weekend diving trip to Noorma on the nsw coast

Adrienne, Dan, Liam,  two cars  drive over Friday two days of diving and then drive back monday with a stop off for a quick dive.

Highlights were grey nurse sharks, seals who just loved to play, downside was the boat operator,

Vietnam

Vietnam -Hoi ann

A quick day of diving during the vietnam vacation.   diving on island just out from hoi ann , good boat crew and very nice day.   the diving in truth is only ok , with little in the way of extraordinary sea life or growth. even though it was within a marine park there were signs of heavy fishing.

overall a good day with good company and three dives, so better than a day in the office or clothes shopping.
