Well, we went for a wee dive yesterday, to collect a few squid eggs (near-mid-winter spawning for Sepioteuthis australis in NZ waters).
First time I'd been in the water in near a decade (my best mate, buddy diver, had died about a decade ago, not in the water, but all the same I hadn't wanted to go back in).
That TTF lady, Tintenfisch, aka Kat, finally convinced me twaz time to pull head in and get back out again, so with new gear I jumped back in. Twaz as if I'd never been away.
What a day (a little bumpy and wet on the way back; we're definitely in the lee of an island when that shot was taken). LOTS of eggs, everywhere, and in 5-or-so weeks we'll be swimming in squid.
That thar be the smiling faces of Kevin Tilbrook (Dr) and Lady TTF in one of the shots (with booty), Kat slipping into [or out of] a wetsuit, with Kev in the back and a positively eveeeeel chappy called Nik on the left (also at Kelly Tarlton's, a jolly good diver, neat bloke and fisherman extraordinaire). I'm taking the pic (hence invisible).
