Who could go back to work on Tuesday?? The skies were blue, the seas were calm, the temperatures were soaring into the mid 30's (90'sF). And I worked Sunday, so I deserved it, right?! I headed out yesterday morning instead of working and grabbed another two dives. There was a ton of sand stirred up so shooting was a bit of a trick and I had to get much closer than I'd had to on the rest of the weekend - no more experimenting with lighting and distance 
Turns out there's yet another cyclone forming off the west coast, but it doesn't look like it should affect us too much in the next 48 hours at least. Probably just some stirred up water...oh yeah, and rain. It's been raining since about 3am - blech.
Not that I've had time to actually go through my photos from the weekend yet, but here are a couple from yesterday that I grabbed while making the first WHALE SHARK videos of the year for our clients (I didn't go sharking but they had two sharks and crystal blue water!)
The "Stick camera under ledge, kinda sight through the viewfinder to half-assedly line things up, and shoot" technique - moray with cleaner wrasse
Dive site: Blizzard Ridge - 14m; Lighthouse Bay, Exmouth, Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia
Bream with cleaner wrasse - just something a little different in the cleaning genre
Dive site: Gulliver's North Hole - 14m; Lighthouse Bay, Exmouth, Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia

I think I'll have more more more photos as the week goes on, but I'm going to have to dribble them out still as I am now swamped with catching up! It was all worth it though
