Nice Pix! Love the octopus photos, hope I get to see one or two while I'm in Coz (1 more week to go!)
How was the water temp while diving? Would you recommend diving a shorty or long suit?
I saw lots of shorties. Some of the younger divers were wearing just swim trunks but they were probably ice divers from Canada..
One of my computers said 80 and the other said 77, so probably somewhere in between.
I wore a 1.5mm wetsuit all week, including the night dives but I normally dive with just a lycra skin. Most people were wearing 3 mil and heavier full wetsuits, so I'm sure it is just depends on your tolerance to the cold.
The land temperatures held to around 80 +/- for the whole 10 days I was there, with a few very light sprinkles in the morning around dawn and the rest of the time it couldn't have been better.. with very low humidity.
Hope this helps.
