Diver's Notes

Second dive on the Great Barrier Reef. Before diving i adjusted the flash setting on my camera to give off a stronger flash. Bad idea!! On this dive all the photos were washed out. Couldn't re-adjust the setting while diving. Lesson learned!
There was more of a current to contend with on this site. Nice to drift along though! More gullies and valleys to swim through and much more of an interesting dive than this mornings dive. Mind you there was quite a lot of jellyfish about on the surface when we came up after the dive. Got stung on the face and neck but only slightly and it passed after a few seconds.

Better control of air consumption on this dive and i played around with my balance and hovering techniques as i took photos. I nearly have it down to a fine art!
