Santa was most generous last year and dutifully delivered a camera. As I have a track record of getting cameras wet, this one... most sensibly... came with a housing.
I've been diving for 4 years and while my passion generally speaking lies in rusty stuff and wet rock, you can't go past the fishies... and besides, they're much more photogenic.
Since getting the camera I've taken to doing designated 'photo dives' as I'm quite taken with the thrill of the chase for the 'perfect photo.'
Although a Melbourne diver and a huge fan of temperate water diving around here and Tassie, I've ventured as far West as Whyalla in SA and as far North as Lady Musgrave in QLD, throughout the various trips relying on others to document the adventures. Now armed with the camera I hope to retrace my steps, dive all the sites, see all the marine creatures and take my own photos... and hopefully somewhere in there I'll figure out the mystery that is the 'f' stop.
