Nice shots as usual Gudge... I wish we had your bad viz!
Conditions didn't allow for diving for us this weekend... jealous of those of you who did.
Nice shots AB glad you got some diving in too.
Stormysea did you get to dive at all?

I think I have a different definition of terrible viz to you though

I wish we had your bad viz!

I did say that we had some of the best viz we've had in a long time on the first dive (when the fish/turtle pictures were taken). There's a good reason I didn't post pictures of anything bigger than the nudi from the second dive.

fair enough.... nudi pictures mean poor viz to you too???
Always a delight your pics and your posts Gudge!:blinking:

Well of course our trip to Byron was caned but we decided to go diving off the Western beach (Goldcoast). although vis sucked we saw some special stuff. Robust ghost pipe fish and Ornate Harliqin Ghost pipe fish. Lots of small lion fish. I led both dives and it was my first time leading. It was really good.

This week I am diving
Western beach on Wednesday, Cook Island on Thursday and Byron on Sunday....Yeah!!

Congrats on all the great photos. No diving for me recently. I'm going to have to just go for a quickie just so the first dive of ITR isn't my first dip in months.

See you all in a couple of weeks.

Ok well I have some pics from the weekend. Not all of them though as for the backbeach dives my camera started bubbling when I put it underwater so I was worried about the seal and gave it to a friend who was snorkeling. A tiny bit of water got inside the case (sand had gotten on the o-ring) but no damage He loaned me his camera for the dives and I should get them tonight - got some of a few Port Jacksons

Beautiful backbeach conditions - Diamond Bay

Kelp at backbeach - was tonnes of kelp foresty bits

Rudder Quadrant of the Coogee

Tonnes of fish at Coogee

Blue Devil at Coogee

We were joined by a Scubaboarder too, who was visiting Australia - JClynes - and he was fun to dive with and I am glad the conditions were good for his visit!
