It was such good weather and the water so good I headed off to Bare Island for a SOLO dive - my first.

Not used to shore diving, after strapping my pony on and heading down the road I realised half way down that my mask and fins were still leaning against the car.  So back up I went.  Once at the small ramp on the West side it was an easy slide into the water and away I went.  I hadn't really planned to go too far and just past the kelp I found 2 pygmy leatherjackets swimming around green plants and kelp.  These became my photographic subjects as I watched them play in and out of the plants.  I didn't get any deeper than 7.9m but I was quite satisfied with my first solo dive.
