Yea it didn't seem to be your best night out burna 
The picture tells a thousand words 
I've had dives like that. One time I forgot to put 6lb on for a night dive and didn't realise until about a few days later after wondering why the whole dive was just constant finning. Or another dive where I forgot my booties so had to wear sneakers (very floaty as I discovered) plus I was diving with twin 7s, which make me really foot light anyway. Usually I would be fine to just float on my head for the dive but the regs I was borrowing flooded with water any time I did this
Just really really uncomfortable. But yea, usually I don't make the same mistake again so next time you'll remember all of these, not like most people who might forget one thing per dive and overall have more dives with bits that are uncomfortable before they remember stuff rather than one super uncomfortable dive

Second dive with my new G11 
Still working out all the functions but so far its working well. Lots of silt in the water so makes it hard to take really clear pics.
YouTube - Big Cuttlefish
The rest of the pictures in the album are here Picasa Web Albums - Chris - 2009-10-23 but here is a couple from it.

hahahaha thats a classic!
yep everybody has them but many aren't as good at working through them :lol: I wish I had got to see Sas do her dive floating around feet up head down she normally has perfect trim lol
We had to make our dive a short one.. 85 minutes.. got lousey fills
We found what I think was a bleeding Pleurobranch in a seagrass bed, what looked like the tail of a slipper lobster sticking out of the gill of a Wobby, an Eastern cleaner clingfish, and a couple cute little Reaper's cuttles. Lots of particulate in the water so hard to get good shots but it was a fun relaxing dive.

Yea I've seen some of those Sydney fills, what's with that? I have *once* got below 200 but usually it is 210-220
I got one dive in on the weekend only :depressed: I had a party in the middle of woop woop Saturday night so could only fit the one in. Anyway we got in a nice long dive at Blairgowrie Pier - nearly 2hrs (soz to rub it in petunia
). Water is warming up (now 14C!) and we had nice viz at 12m. HEAPS of nudis - this pier is like nudi paradise. Our main goal was to find a tassled angler but the little buggers eluded us again 
Ok a Southern Keeled Octopus
Verco's nudi (my fav nudi!)
Blenny
Sunlight through the surface - was nice to actually have sun light in the water for once!

Lots of crap in the water today but thought I'd get out just to play with my new camera a bit.
Was thinking about how good this guy would be for dinner!
