Diving - North Mole

Yep, I'm finally writing a real post, with pictures to boot. It's been an exceptionally long time, but I've been busy and mostly on computers I don't want to blog from so I have hence not blogged. Regardless, on with the post :)

I went diving with a couple of mates on the weekend off North Mole in Fremantle. It was fun, and seeing as I'd never dived there before it was interesting. Anyway, I got a new camera just before christmas, and got an underwater housing for it as well, but it took a few months to come in. This is the first time I've dived since getting the underwater housing so I HAD to try it out :) I didn't test it sealed before chucking my camera in it and taking it diving, but luckily it worked fine and my camera stayed dry. So here's some photos:

This is where we entered the water. It was a little steep, hence the rope. Not the easiest of entries but manageable. That's Reece in the foreground and Munkey down the bottom. The red tinge is because I already had it on the underwater setting.


Found this broken plate/bowl, and decided to take a photo cause I thought it looked cool, and cause I was basically photohappy and took a photo of everything :)


I look like chode under water :)


I didn't see this Port Jackson Shark, luckily Munkey did and grabbed me and took me back. The shark seemed to be sleeping when we first saw it, and I got a few photos getting closer and closer until it woke up and decided we were too close. This photo is from after I woke him.



I have lots of photos but these are the highlights. My next dive might be a night dive which could mean some pretty cool pics :) Hope you enjoyed my first real post in 9 months :)

Hey Valdi - nice photos - do you have them all on flickr or something like that? Would really like to see them!
Alls well in sunny Iceland (I am squinting because the sun is shining right into my window at work). Hope all is well - love from Sigga, Anna and Amma

Great pics dude. Such a bizarre looking shark, hey? How big was it? Was it small like the ones you see in fish tanks?
