Thanks to John (Auslobster), I finally got to go on a cray dive and even managed a few!

 

Once again, thanks John!

John is a real pro at this and can rack them up fast - even with a broken loop!  He had a few in the bag before I even got a "size" one in.  Was good to watch an experienced person do it and learn from.

Thanks fellas..

It was good to have you guys out there...I reckon Alfred's going to be a "natural" at this and I once again apologise to Jamie for not putting us onto shallower water so he could have a fair go on "breath hold" diving.

Oh yeah BQ544, it WAS off Mandurah.

Hah don't worry, someone had to watch the boad and thats what all that surface time was for.

I'll be down there week after next, and I don't just mean Mandurah once I get my ticket refreshed! Anything after Friday and count me in!

Hey Paul anytime!

John - I am doing a couple of dives out of Mindarie on a charter tomorrow as a recon.  If I see anything, You'll have to come up and dive off my boat.

The charter boat is a non cray boat, but the intention is to let my wife get a couple more dives under her belt.

Feral we threw a couple back as well as they were ready to breed.
