Day 7
Today I headed to ocean divers to meet up with Mark, a dive guide from the Netherlands. We geared up and headed to Blairgowrie Bay in the north side of the bay since there was an inland wind. We got into the water, which was still a little cold, and hit the sea floor. It took me a few minutes to get accustomed to the weight belt I was using since it was steel weight and not sand bags like I use. I was flopping around like a fish out of water to be honest, ironic I know. Eventually I got my sea legs and made my way around. Although it was no great barrier, I did see sea horses, a banjo shark, sea slugs, a fish with massive eyes, a decapitated shark head and at one point almost got bit by a fish protecting its young inside a tire. All in all it was a pretty amazing experience, wish I had been able to find an underwater camera to get some photos....oh well.
