With perfect conditions for a dive yesterday i took advantage of flexible working and grabbed a splash at Blairgowrie. Declining a tongue in cheek offer by Paul Sorensen to tag along with his open water course I pottered about for my usual 3 hours hunting the small stuff. As usual I found heaps of interesting stuff including a new Nudi species taking my recorded species list to no 108 ...

What is going on with our weather at the moment. The south easterly winds once again did a good job of blowing diving out today. For once the forecast was spot on and a start before dawn saw me entering the water with conditions really nice. As I exited at 9.30 the wind had come up and waves were smashing into the pier from the east.
The early start gave me the place to myself and as usual I had a good hunt for the small stuff. I found a good selection including a couple of Paradoris dubia which I have only seen once before.Also interesting were some very tiny Arrow worms(Spadella sp). I found one and then noticed that they were on almost every bit of sponge. I have to admit to keeping an eye out for sharks today after Friday nights reported sighting of an aggressive 3m Bronze Whaler, with a macro lens on I would have expected to bump into it for the customary eye shot on the bigger stuff!!!
Also diving was Peter Beaumont. ...

Given the crap weather forecast for the weekend I decided to make the most of a great day on Friday and sneak in an afternoon splash at Blairgowrie.
Losing track of time as usual I eventually got out after 3 hours 21 minutes. There are still a great selection of Nudibranch about with the Phyllodemium serratum species in absolute plague proportions from the T junction onwards. Aside from slugs I found a Blueringed Octopus and there were a couple of large Rays buzzing about.
Its going to be tough to find a dive spot tomorrow but thinking I may head to Ricketts Point. Not a spot I go to very often but at least it should be out of the wind. ...

With the expected Southerly change ruling out a planned dive on the SS Glenelg I ended up doing a Saturday arvo dive at Blairgowrie instead. In the pouring rain I enjoyed a nice relaxed potter about hunting slugs. I found a good selection without finding anything particularly interesting.
At the end of the dive with the light disappearing I found a Blue Ringed Octopus out hunting. ...
