Swan River Training

1st River Dive

This was meant to be Melissa's 1st Ocean dive. Unfortunately, the weather was too rough and the boat charter was cancelled. The instructor decided to go to Blackwall reach instead. There were 4 other students as well as the dive instructor and conditions (as per usual in the river) were very murky with limited visibility.

I was mostly looking around, and experimenting with my new camera - not the best. Fixed focus and not very light sensitive - but for AU$100 what do you expect.

I was excited that I saw my first sea horse in the wild -tried to potograph it but the photo did not come out.
