The Calm Before the Storm - 02/01/2016

The first dive of the year proved to be a very calm experience. Jester and I had joined the SFTW crew for a trip to St Catherines, Loch Fyne. When we arrived we were not the only ones. In fact, the site was hoachin'. So much so that Jester and opted for our occassional deep (40m) night route round the reef to avoid the inevitable poor vis in the shallower parts. 

It was a great decision. We never saw another diver until we met Cptn Al at 10m. It was a mutually beneficial moment as I spotted a nice cushion star and Jester a sea lemon. We pointed them out and continued along our safety stop.

Alone again in the shallows Jester spotted one of my favourite nudibranchs - Eubranchus farrani.

It was a lovely 60+ minute run. I've attached some pictures taken by Jester below so that you can share the love.
