Break From The Old Routine - 23/04/2015

After an extended break from the old routine the dynamic diving duo - me and the Zookeeper -unleashed our combined powers on one of the warmest evenings of the year thus far. No longer for us getting changed in a howling gale and horizontal rain. Nope, we kitted up in the radiant glow of warm sunshine.

We entered the water and plopped down. The visibility was great, easily up to 10m. Although, there were very heavy particulates in the water, Almost like swimming in a green rain shower with the rain drops suspended mid air.

We headed down to 30m passing a nice northern sunstar, a cushion star, and a few sea cucumbers. A real feast of nice echinoderms. However, if the first half of the dive was about echinoderms, then the second half was all about the nudibranchs. There were loads.

In total we were down 51 minutes and had a great time. Normal service it seems was resumed.
