Had a bit of a disasterous dive today.
Firstly, got into the water, settled into the dive and found my first subject and went to take a shot. Completely dark viewfinder - Oh no, I'd left the lens cap on!! You think I would have learnt after my Nudi disaster last week!!! :11:
I resurfaced, took the port off and removed the lens cap, checked the oring was clean and replaced the port and rentered the water. Found another subject, went to focus and......nothing! I then realised I'd left the lens focus switch on manual!! Cursed and swore at myself for a while then returned to the surface and sorted the problem and rentered the water, thinking the next thing can only be a flood!!
Luckily no flood, but it as it was my first wetsuited dive this year I found it really cold after 30 mins, so decided to cut the dive short. The water is still at 12c but the viz was much better, maybe 5-6 metres.
Managed to get a couple of shots, but there wasn't much about, but here they are (apologies for yet another Velvet Swimming Crab Piccy!!)
