14th December Dive @ Byron Bay

[AussieByron]

Had the chance to get two dives in today with my Camera. Water temp and visability had improved over night to 25c and 20m in some spots due to a decent current. Which made it excellent for the Tokina 10-17 as there were lots of GNS, a Manta and even some Ornate Ghost Pipefish.

Here are some of the pics of the dive:

4 Ornate Ghost Pipefish in a row.

Great photos - you got much closer to the Manta than I did!

 

[AussieByron]

Yes that Manta came right up to me. All these shots are at 10mm.

Unfortunately I didnt get a decent frame and when it was real close I had to exhale and the bubbles scared it off. Well its a good sign for the start of summer so hopefully I can get more time with these beautiful creatures.
