G'Day Mate!

I'm in Australia for a few days on my way back home to Bali. I had a fantastic day of diving in Sydney today. The mission was to find Grey Nurse Sharks and Weedy Sea Dragons. The pros at Dive Centre Manly had no trouble at all accomplishing that mission. I saw Grey Nurse Sharks on both dives and two Weedy Sea Dragons, one female and a male with eggs, on the second dive. My guide on both dives was the world famous "Sharky" who knows the site like t he back of his hand. When we went off looking for the Weedy Sea Dragons, it only took him about 5 minutes to find the first one (the male with eggs), and then while I was occupied shooting it, he arranged for me to "discover" the female on my own:<) Sharky also entertains on the dive boat with his stand-up comedy routine of puns and groaners.

Tonight I will be presenting a seminar on UW Video Lighting at Dive Centre Manly for their loyal following of videographers.

There were at least a half dozen sharks at one of their favorite caves.
