Where did you solo dive today?

Halemano, cool pics and really nice to see a shark in Shark Cove! I really liked that dive when I did it in 2007.

Yesterday I went to Tobermory and had a nice relaxing 47 min dive, 74 ft max, 50 degrees below the thermocline, 64 above. Man I love my doubles and new can light.

Hey got in a solo dive yesterday and took a bunch of pics. I actually arrived with my buddy but he wanted to go searching for bottles so we dived seperately for the first dive, which was nice for a change. Anyway, we met back on shore and I had found heaps of cool critters and he found lots of old bottles + coins. Did two more dives with him after this for a total of 4hrs12mins underwater, so was a nice day of diving. Viz was about 12m too! And water has warmed up to 13C

Sas, you take beautiful picures!

I totally envy you right now for being able to see some of those animals. I've spent over 20 years as a fish hobbyist and would love to see a sea dragon like that. I once saw them offered for $20,000 each but now I believe they are not allowed to be sold at all (good thing).

Thanks! What kind of critters do you get over your way?

Wow, 20k... at some sites there are dozens and dozens of them! I am surprised if they sell for that much people haven't been stealing them.. I'm glad they haven't though! I am told they are very delicate and people who collect them for specimens have to bring them up in little deco nets *very* slowly so they don't get bent. They're protected from fishing locally. Anyway, I love to see them swim around, really interesting critters though really annoying to photograph as they will stick their tail at you most of the time
