Details: This was a pretty messy dive, but i decided to go for a bit of an explore and ‘get lost’ . I started at the beginning of the main legde which heads out to sea (south). I explored out deeper and got to 9.3 meters which is the deepest i’ve been at cottage. Found some great solitary bommies out there with plenty of fish life around them. A downside of this dive was that i didn’t put my dome on properly aligned, and the fisheye lens picked up the edges of the shade. I noticed it early in the dive, and made the decision to try to rotate it into position. I nervously rotated it, and prayed like hell i didn’t hear my leak dectector alarm. As soon as i started twisting, a mosquito-sounding jetski came flying over my head a dissappeared just as quick…funnily enough, it sounded just like my leak detector!!! Bastards! Made my heart sink into my chest.
Camera Details: Tokina 10-17mm , dual SS200 strobes
