Dive #74. Dive 1 Underwater digital photography course

When: 27 May 2006

Water temp: 16°C
Buddy: Reg F
Instructor: Scuba Buachall

Iain from New Zealand joined us for this dive - a serious photographer.
Surgey conditions, but beautiful sea horses.

Focused on (pardon the pun) taking macro shots using an Olympus C350 3.2 MP camera. Scuba Buachall has taken some extraordinary shots with this. Am getting familiar with it, now that SB has upgraded to the Olympus 5060 5.1 MP.
hee hee hee our aliens-as-pylon-sponge-life disguise is working well, lads.

Lovely gentle dive. Big leather jackets, senator wrasse, silver drummer, groper, cute cuttlefish. Bit of current. Found dive knife directly under jetty.

And it's always nice to end a dive with a nice glass of red!
