IT WAS SPIDER CRAB CITY!!!
Bloody hundreds of them, every little rock got up and moved as we got close to it and turned out to be a spider crab or a decorator crab with a few velvet ones sneaking in from the periphery. Kirstie would have been in heaven
Some of these crabs were minute, others were the size of dinner plates
Not a blennie in sight but we had a great day, my memory is going as I get older and couldn't remember how much weight I needed with a single so first dive was cut short due to not enough lead and the spare lead being in my car... which Vonny had the keys for, never mind Swiss Dave and I had a nice hot chocolate
As for the vis... PANTS! Thank God I'd gone in to practice using my strobe with macro settings on the camera anything more than 6 inches away (100mm for you young folk) would have been invisible to the camera. I got a few shots which I won't bother trying to clean up with photoshop, there's no point as I was just practicing and certainly didn't see anything to really spend ages on. As always with a YD Gig, the company w made the day, great to see Swiss Dave (congratulations on the new job Dave) and Vonny (still smitten and counting the days and hours) again and to meet Steve L who had taken the trouble to drive from Bristol cos he'd heard the rumours about Vonny.
So here are my attempts, apologies to all the great photographers on here, you have no competition yet from me
