Crimbo Island - Lexys dive log page! :o)

18/9/10
2 boat dives for me today. Both dives were about 45 mins, and max depth of 30m. Both wall dives, with vis at about 35m.

Tons to see.... including my first ever white tip reef sharks (and there were loads of them!!!!!) scorpion fish, lion fish, morays and giant travelley - which were huge and had very big teeth!!!!

Loads of different types of coral and millions of types of fish! I've bought a book with all the pictures in of the fish that live around the island.... so i'm going to be reading up on that this evening, and learning their names!!!

So here is just a couple of my pics from today. We defo need to invest in a good camera... my little fuji doesnt do it justice!!!!










Smudge, Hope that is enought proof that Im not at Browns Bay!

love pinky x

Lex, that camera looks good, give it bit longer with a steadier hand (lay off the alcohol the night before ) you'll be great with it in a week or two

Nah - defo need a better camera.... especially for the long distance shots.... need the strobes etc! Jase has got it in hand anyway x

for most of my shots I use the same as you have at the moment.

Strobes are for us that still have no sun-light or for close ups - and i don't wana get close to those sharks

Yeah but no but yeah but its not like yours oh Smudgy one cos hers wont manual white balance
SOOOOO you see she wants a better one especially to take pics of WHALE SHARKS AND MANTAS

look what i found today...

Have you found the house yet for when Mr Asbo comes out? Or is he joining you in pink?

xx

Brilliant !!

Hi Lex,
Liking the Pink house, looks good,

I think you should stop being tight and buy a new camera, then when we all turn up un announced you get some fab pics. LOL



I just know youll be missing the cold 7 degrees diving here at the mo so sont kid us any differently.

xx

Missing all the gang Andy ... but not the water temp thats for sure!!!! Would be amazing if you guys could make it over here sometime!
And as for the Camera.... Jase is on the case with organising that for us!!!! I'll just have to stick with my little point and shoot for now!
Although I have managed to order myself a new pink and black wetsuit!!! 2/3mm!!!! Shoud be much better!!!!!......

I brought my 5mm wetsuit with me.... but at 29 degree water temps a 5mm suit seems a little excessive!!! And as for my shortie... well thats still sat in Perth with the rest of my luggage.... ...... apparently there hasnt been enough room on the plane to send it over!!!!
Not impressed! I'm sure it will arrive soon enough!

But on the bright side.... Couple more dives for me yesterday... and off out again this aft!!!

Cant wait for my buddy to get here tho.... its just not the same without you Jase!


Doc... I did find a couple of places that might suit Mr Asbo???? What you think?





x x x

I think he'll want the second place, but with you in it too

.... we'll be locking ourselves in a room together for several days thats for sure!!!!

Speak for yourself I'll be out diving

we'll just have to see about that .... i might let you have a break to go diving at some point!!!


So back to my little dive log.....

Couple more dives today.... 4 customers and one boat skipper.... me on my owning guiding them!!!!

A very close encounter with a big grey-whaler shark! (i've just googled these sharks.... and they seem to like humans!) Fortunatly this one didn't fancy a bit of pinky!!!!
No pics I'm affraid.... i was more concerned about getting eaten than getting a good pic!


Customers all happy with their guide.... I even managed to spot loads of good critters for them! And the best bit of all.... I got them back to the boat safely.... a good day has been had by all! And another $100 in the kitty!

Diving every day this next week.... got 20 divers over here on holiday.... so lots of chances for me to get some pics of those sharks.... now that I'm getting used to them being around.

Well guess what.... I've been diving!!!! 2 excellent dives..... (15 dives logged now on CI).

And today i was also lucky enough to snorkel with approx 30 Spinner Dolphins!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!
They were all around us, checking us out! I could even hear them calling to each other!!!!!! What a day!!!!!!!

This place is just something special.... you never know what you are going to see in the water next!!!!!

WRECK DIVE tomorrow!!!! .....Sorry Jase x

Have fun, be safe Lex

Thanks Sheelagh, will defo be safe.... I'm guiding OW qualified divers, so max depth of 18m and they havent got their speciality.... so will just be mooching around the outside of the wreck! Nice and steady away!

Apparently the wreck is broken in half, with the bow being sat at 60-65m......

Gonna take the camera just for Jase.... cause I know how much he hates wrecks! x

So while they are admiring the stern you will be taking photos of the bow - from 18m?

Has that point and shoot got a telephoto lens?

Another good day in the water.... wreck not as good as i had hoped.... it was all in pieces. Some parts quite distinguishable.
But on the plus side, more swimming with dolphins, turtles, and sharks!
Feeling a bit dived out today.... 4 dives, each for an hour!!!!
Pics on fb x

Lex, I've looked all over, I even looked in the mirror at hard to see places and I still cant find any pictures !!

Are you sure you put them on FB ??

yeah defo on there hun.... people have been making comments on them. look on my profile x

...They aint there !!

I've looked all over the FAT B'Stard but there are no photos on me chuck.

Now, I shall ask this only once, where are zee photos ?
