Scallop Dive - Video added.

Post by maverick »

After a quick intro with the newly renamed Dominator and catching up with Fishin' and Poddy we pedalled out the 500m to the dive area. Ended up ddoing about 40 minutes underwater in 13m - 15m of water for 70 odd scallops. They were a bit thin on the bottom, but the quality made up for the numbers. Here are a few pics. Video is coming (slowly).

Well past the edge, almost at the point of no return.

How did the Dominator go?

Do you have a dive housing for the GoPro?

I couldnt think of anything witty or funny to say and didnt really want to post my PB fish from the yak cause all I manage to get are toadies so I thought I'd take the time to fill in the blank space and say pretty much absolutely nothing and annoy every-one who has taken the time to read this.

Nice !.... god, it's been ages since I dived..... I'm a tropic water diver, somehow can't handle Melbourne water.... even when it was 40'C day, the water is still somehow too cold for my liking. Now I wish to give it a try again.....
Fishing is just like Accounting .... it is all about Optical Illusion ...............
