Thursday afternoon the wind calmed down (we're dodging cyclones) and we scrambled to get a bunch of people together for a dive. It was just friends out and we explored a new area and two different new sites. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Not your usual dives - muck diving with boulder sized floaties, but the marine life is stunning. Makes taking photos extremely difficult, but I love diving in Exmouth Gulf despite the dirt - actually, because of it...it creates a very fertile ecosystem! Huge coral trees, enormous barrel sponges, sea whips, soft corals and every type of fish, nudi and critter you can imagine. Can't wait to head out again.
This FAT sea snake came straight at me, finally bumping his nose into my port. I took two frames - this one and the one right after he bumped his nose...that second frame is a cloud of debris that he stirred up when he bounced off the port into the mud...it's so fine that the slightest movement or touch silts you out completely! Needless to say, that frame is ruined!
Enough chatter - how about a photo. Something different from me.
