Portsea Pier, November 2002

Various photographs

Portsea Pier, a pier in the outter Melbourne suburb of Portsea, is approximately 2 hours drive from the city. Our maximum depth was 5 metres and the water temperature was 14 degrees celcius. This was my first attempt at underwater photography with my digital camera. Hopefully there will only be an improvement with practice!

Isn't it adorable?

This was a much bigger weedy

Taken without a flash hence the fuzzyness because I couldn't hold the camera still enough....

and with the flash!

And here is my dive buddy Steph, also affectionately known as Frump!

Underwater photography of people isn't really flattering, is it?

The beached whale!!
