Well today has seen me log my 400th dive. Very Happy
The dive wasn't what I had hoped it would be, but nevertheless it was a good dive, with 2 customers The pink-one's 400th dive... 246400


Dive one
The tide was coming in, with a few waves, so the vis in the shallows was about 1m (reminded me of Blue Lagoon diving fun, back in the good old days!!)
We headed out about 15m from the shore, before descending - where the vis was good, at about 20-30m. We headed out to the drop-off, to a dive site called Moray Central - where loads of Yellow Margin (common) morays live. Headed back up onto the reef and found a massive Giant Green Moray, a Banded Moray and a cool unusual puffer fish. Very tempted to touch the Giant Moray.... so we could see him free swimming.... but of course didn't! Also saw some big Giant Travellies.

Total Dive time - 61 mins, 27.5m
10 litre pink tank


Dive two
After a lovely sunny surface interval (and a quick tank fill).... the tide had turned and the vis was perfect again in the shallows. So we dropped straight down onto the reef, this time we headed to the drop-off to the right of Moray Central. A long swim along the drop off, with improved Vis at around 30-40m. Lots of pretty soft Coals, with the best critters to be found more in the shallows, when we headed back up to the sand patch (5-12m in depth). Here we saw garden eels, a massive Occie, Giant Barracuda and a big school of Chevron Barracuda, as well as the usual fish and critters. And of course the necessary photo-opportunities (great photo conditions at 6m (with great vis and sun light!)

Total dive time 60 mins, 24.1m
10 litre pink tank.

they all sound great 400th dives. Smile
I wanted my 400th to be memorable.... either somewhere extra special or with some special or to see something extra special. (I know i'm lucky to have ticked these things of on other dives that i've done), so don't want to seem ungrateful.... looks like i'll have to hold out for the big 500!!!!! ...might try for that to be with you guys in August x x x
