My first was just today at Williamstown! you wont believe if if i said i had a freak accident and injured my back just before entering, the pain was/ is severe, still painful when i keep my back straight. must have injured it as i bent down to put my stuff.
anyway, the water was so calm and beautiful and i came so far, I must at least make a dive. And I never regretted it, the water was crytal clear. Viz drop after noon. Manage to get my first fish ever which was a stingray with handspear. I saw lots of bream and 2 decent flatheads. But no experience beforehand I missed my 2 tries on flathead
my spear hand lost 1 out of 4 prangs, bent the other one after missing and it hit the rock.. i incorrectly estimated the distance from my spear and fish and rock. buggered it
and can't get close to the pinkies/bream. I am not sure were they pinkies of snapper, cos they look grey with stripes, I am unsure if the fish actually changes colour in/ out of water.
What a day, wasn't the best dive as I wasn't even swimming properly.. Floating most of the time can't even dive down much, I wore another wetsuit top inside, I thought it will be cold.
Gears I used : Seak handspear, Seak spring wetsuit and mask without j snorkel.
Can anyone tell me what did I saw today? It got a bream like body with stripes like Zebra, they were curious little fish. Will upload photo as soon as I get my comp on.
