Aussie diving 16th Feb to 28th Feb

[bowlofpetunias]

First and last are mine, The Links shots (incl Blue Devil) are Paul's. I tend to only use the camera on shore dives as I have time to set up shots and things like that. On boat dives I don't usually like to take it as I prefer just to be diving on those! Paul will take his camera on any kind of dive though So if I feel the need for photos I steal his camera.

So how is your back going? Getting better?

handy have a camera carrying buddy :shocked2: esp one who doesn't mind you taking his camera

I take my camera on all dives just leave it in the pocket on my cummerbun if I don't want to use it but I always like to have it with me just in case.

I think if I tried to take a camera from one of my dive buddies I would bring back a bleeding stump same thing as they would get if they tried to take mine

I wouldn't know how to run one of their cameras anyway We have a great group and everyone is fantastic about sharing shots and subjects.:blinking: Most of us have a pretty good idea of what types of shots everyone is interested in and what their cameras will capture. We are all good at pointing out things to each other with that in mind. Since most of us have cameras we are all happy to take long slow dives.

Like I've said before... we are lucky to developed a group with similar dive styles, interests, experience and goals. Sounds like you are developing a good group where you are too Sas.:blinking: Buddies can make a dive a great experience or an awful one.:doh2:

Over the weekend the wind and tides finally got their act together and we had perfect conditions for diving the eastern side of Exmouth Gulf for the first time in a couple of months and got four 90 minute dives in. The water was a toasty 30.5°C but very dirty with lots of floaties. Here's few shots from the dives:

I had a fantastic dive at Byron yesterday. The dive guide kind of peeved me off but otherwise conditions were perfect. Water was walm, not too much chop until the end, vis was about 12+ metres. I will post some pics later.

Here are a few from this weeks dives. Mainly at "The Needles" this week as there has been heaps of Leopard Sharks and even some Manta Ray sightings.
