Rye pier

A great dive today in great conditions.

Started by recovery of phone lost by fisherman, then headed out to elise reef 

Followed by  cruise around the pier.

Unfortunately either i am out of camera experience or the sony is getting old, very few good pictures today..

Blairgowrie pier

Easy dive with simon and craig. Nice dice and a good way to get the gear checked and settled before we start on boats.

Nice dive with craig , craig testing his new strobe and lights and me the TG6. Very pleased at how the tg6 worked considering only lighting was from handheld video light. Pics shown with small crops only . But conditions were very good. 

Flinders pier

First dive after restrictions so ot didnt matter how bad the viz we were in..

Good dive with simon at flinders a bit too early from high tide so copped some very murky water. But thats flinders .

Used the new olympus tg6 for this dive no lights just the tg6 so unfair to evaluate on such a dive but liked it a lot for ease and reasonable photos given the limited viz.

Earmold Mask Test

Testing new mask Earmold off a boat

Boat dive with redboats to test my new mask the earmold version with ear cups. the principal being you blow out through your nose and then there is tubes that allows for air travel to a cup that sits over the ear. previous shallow shore dives seem to work well, so it was time to test at depth.8888

          first time off a boat in a quite a while so the focus was not on camera but just getting things right,

the new mask was certainly better but still a bit of issues getting down. I think with a bit more practice with the mask it will work.
At least the ears stayed dry although I think the tubes that run from the mask to the ears may be squeezing at depth and therefore not allowing the air to travel freely.

Quick dive under the today as second test for new mask

Mask includes the ear cups and balancing tubes , worked well so next step is a deeper dive to see how it really works.

Nice dive , but think the wild life knew it was a good day to be out deep.
