Time for a new Aussie diving thread. Should be some interesting dives to share over the Holiday season.
I will start with a couple pics from our last dive
Smile for the Camera

Rose petal Bubbleshell

This tiny Nudi was a bit unusual for the site

Here are a few of mine from the montebello islands about a month ago. Still working on my technique but really enjoying the UW photography.

All shot with a Canon G11 and Inon S2000.

Cheers Joel

lovely shots. Picking up my camera added a whole new dimention to my diving. I love having pics to remember and share dives! Thanks for sharing your dive with us. That nudi shot is a stunning shot!

I finally got the shot I have been trying for for ages. Sgt Baker posing with the teeth in focus. They always pose on the rocks up on their pectoral fins but dart away as soon as I get close enough for a shot!

Lots of Wobbies

Juvenile Flutemouth. There were about 6 of them in a little school. Look at the size of the grit on the bottom for size reference. They were to flighty to get anything into the frame for size reference!

Got to go visit Sas and Burna and finally got the Seahorse shot I have been trying to get for years!

Found an anglerfish At Bare Island yesterday

There used to be a bunch of us did this regularly but everyone seems to have drifted off so I thought I would try to resurrect it again! So where did you dive last? any plans for the weekend?

Here is a link about that anglerfish I found

I think this is the other type they are talking about.. took this a year or so ago at Bare Island

This one we named "Blue Boy" we visited him regularly for a couple years then he just disappeared! That would have been 2004/05. I hope he isn't one they "Collected"!
