A no go weekend for our boats this week so we did a shore dive at Blairgowrie. Peter Beaumont & I timed our entries so that we exited together and we bumped into John Lawler in the carpark waiting for buddy Graham Ellis to arrive. I was glad we got there early as the carpark was packed with divers at 9.30am. Nothing much of note around, just the usual suspects but a nice dive anyway.A no go weekend for our boats this week so we did a shore dive at Blairgowrie.

John wasn't going to find me in the car park because I was at the dive platform waiting for John sans mask. Ian, as usual a heap of fantastic photos while I siffered from strobe failure, camera failure but at least my focus torch was working - torces don't take great photos.

Lembeh is all about the critters and it seems that almost everything from coral to fish has a resident Shrimp. They come in all shapes and sizes from tiny Skeleton Shrimps to the sizeable Mantis Shrimps. Their colour varies from brightly coloured to translucent.
At the beginning the guides point them out and you struggle to see what they are pointing at but by the end of the trip we were pointing some out to the guides.Lembeh is all about the critters and it seems that almost everything from coral to fish has a resident Shrimp.

Well our week in Lembeh is over and we are back home. It's strange coming back from a holiday in the tropics to find its warmer in Melbourne.
As most of you know well I like a slug and Lembeh didn't disappoint in that department. With dive sites with names like Nudi Wall, Nudi Retreat and Nudi Falls how could I go wrong. Here is a selection of the numerous species we found.
All up we knocked over 24 dives in 7 days and had a ball. For variety of life Lembeh Straight takes some beating.Well our week in Lembeh is over and we are back home.

Another truely sublime days diving today with the crew at Eco Divers. Theme for today was Mantis Shrimp with a few different types to be seen. After the late night diving yesterday both of us old boys fell asleep between lunch and our third dive of the day. We were glad we roused ourselves as we found a couple of Ornate Ghost Pipefish to add to the critter list.
Tomorrow we are planning four dives again with a Black Water dive as number four.
