    Acute frustration syndrome setting in

    The Housing for my OMD arrived today got it all set up, dome port fitted, soak tested and ready to go and I'm working tomorrow... if I'm lucky I might get it into the water tomorrow evening. But I'll spend all day diving without it

    Saw you clutching the package of your new toy Pete.

    Brilliant seahorses that we were very lucky to come upon with you today. Wondered why you didn't have your camera

    See you tomorrow.

        Glad you enjoyed the dive mate.

        I've photographed them many times already Eddie and they didn't need another member of the group hassling them I can go and see them solo some time when it gets a little quieter.

                      2 Gorgeous dives today, Eddie sat out the 2nd one as he was planning a BIG night with an old mess mate and it was likely to get mucky (he's not planning on diving at all tomorrow)
                      1st dive was Billingshurst to Shrimps cave, the shrimps came out to play and Billingshurst was it's usual stunning self with fantastic light. In the afternoon the rest of us went and visited the xlendi wreck. There is an old car on the sand near it and since so many of you guys like photographing cars in muddy puddles I grabbed a shot of that too just to make you feel that you weren't missing out.

                      2 x 40m dives both over an hour (plenty of time in the shallows of course) but even on the 2nd dive everyone came out with over 70 bar in their single 12 or 15. Good dives and good diving.

                      Shrimps being herded towards my lens, One day I'll dive this cave with a macro lens and get some decent shots of the little sods

                        Like the last one Pete. I took it and played. As you know there is a ladder in the black left hand side. But not enough thereto enhance the pic. It is better in your original,with a blank question mark in the dark on the left.
                        Hope you enjoying your new toy.

                          Luckily cameras are not banned from the wreck though, How did you manage that one? GoPro on a stick?
