Dive Number: 144 11/03/11  18.37,  Point Henry Pier

Wind:   5 knot E’s

Tide:  2.5hours before 0.97 high tide at Geelong.

Conditions:  Despite Easterlies, Corio bay was like glass on the surface.  Unfortunately the water was sediment rich, so visibility suffered.

Visibilty:4-5m

Water Temp: 21c

Bottom Time: 61minutes

Max Depth: 2.4m

Air usage: 70bar/1000psi

SAC: ???? litres/min

Details:    I’d just bought a Ys-120 strobe off ebay, which has a slave sensor built in, so i was hoping to do a couple of back lit off camera strobe shots. It proved difficult to get the strobe to trigger, and i hadn’t worked out mounting opetions for it yet, so very few shots were takedn with it. Instead i focussed on some baitfish balls.            

Camera Details: Tokina 10-17mm , dual SS200 strobes +ys-120 slave
