Diver's Notes

This was my first dive with my canon 550d and sea and sea RDX housing.

Got loads of decent photos :)
WE got on the boat on the inner jetty of the harbour. Dived with Duncan and Steve Brown. We saw loads of lobbies, Crabs, and Flatties I saw 1 seal. We saw the biggest lobbies ever hiding under a rock!
Struggled alittle with SMB and camera.
Had my first dose of seasickness when i surfaced on the boat nearly sick! (I was green)
