About five years ago, on a dive to Flinders reef, I thought “these Australians are funny lot.” Back then the water was a balmy 18 degrees and everyone on board was complaining about the cold. Fast forward five years and I can now understand the Australians; on the trip to Byron Bay a few weeks ago the water temperature reached a “refreshing” 17 degrees– must be acclimatising. Saturday morning, we left Brisbane for a weekend of diving with Sharks at Byron Bay. The itinerary included two dives on the Saturday, dinner at the pub, two dives on Sunday with a visit to the lighthouse in the afternoon.
Even though Sascha’s camera housing was still in the US for maintenance and he could not take any photos (feels very strange – diving without a camera), he thought it would be a good idea to have a photo competition as most of the other divers in the group did have a camera.
The overall winner of the inaugural Byron Bay Photo Competition is Heng Tan with this great shot of a porcupine fish that seems to come straight at you. As each dive made for some great shots, the other photos displayed are from myself, Frank, and Tyson. We had a great weekend in Byron Bay, let’s go again soon – maybe when the water is a bit warmer!
