So with the weather looking fair, Jester and I decided to go out and photograph different types of anemone. Our first and what was to be our last dive of the day was at Drishaig Reef, Loch Fyne. As we kitted up and headed in we joined briefly by Phil Cunningham - the legendary Scottish folk musician. We chuckled as we entered the water.
Heading down to 30m we noticed a very distinct thermocline as the temperature dropped from an almost tropical 14c to 8c at about 6m. The temperature change wouldn't just have an affect on our extremities, but also Jesters camera which was suffering from condensation.
Enjoying the langoustine and firework anemones we bumbled along for 30 minutes before cold got the better of us. Heading up, we passed back through the thermocline. It was like stepping into a warm bath and made the safety stop very nice indeed.
On the surface the real action happened. Jester was coming out of his drysuit when he ripped his wrist seal. The diving was over for the day, but we still met big Phil.
