We got out for one 90 minute dive today on Bundegi Reef inside Exmouth Gulf today. The water temperature was a comfy 23°C and visibility was pretty good (for inside the Gulf) at around 10 metres. I was setup for tiny stuff macro with a Canon 500D close up lens on the front of my Canon 100 macro lens. Here's a few shots from the dive:

Lovely photos Gudge

I got out for two dives yesterday, boat dive and a shore dive, with my dive club. Conditions weren't the best (bad viz, bit of a current) but it was still fun. Didn't bring my camera on the boat dive, but it was not really needed as there was not much to see. My buddy found a swim through though so that was cool. Saw lots of sweep and starfish The shore dive was at Portsea Pier, my regular buddy's favourite. He wanted to surge for things uncovered by the surge and I wanted to take photos (very incompatible goals ;p) so we seperated and I got some photos, but nothing unusual other than lots of mating sea hares. I rarely see sea hares! Some others from the club were practicing line work too, something that I need to start doing!

Mating seahares. Well I presume they are mating...

Two others from the club practicing putting lines around the pier I was following them initially but seperated to take some photos. It was very easy to find them again
