Advanced Open Water course: AWARE Fish ID dive. This was a relatively straightforward dive. My first with a new student, but he seemed pretty adept with his diving skills and I

EANx30. Another nice nitrox dive. Was very relaxing, although uneventful regarding what there was to see. The highlight of it was a baby black lionfish.

EANx33. 3 weeks out of the water is far too long a time, but it was a nice dive. Felt a little chilly towards the end of it though. Saw a couple of small and cute nudis, and a lionfish.

EANx33. Fun dive on 33% Nitrox with Brian. Saw a couple of stonefish (one of them sleeping. Aggressive seasnakes out there – maybe due to it being mating season. Saw a cool flatworm too.

EANx32. Awesome conditions for diving – easily the best of the year with flat seas and sunny skies. Headed left along the reef and saw a white-headed eel, colour-changing and inking cuttlefish and lots more.

EANx32. Felt a little cold on this dive. Saw a family of lionfish and managed to reach 27m over a ridge – impressive for here. Lots of young fish about too – great to see.

EANx32. Deep dive at Maeda. Nice coral and healthy looking too. Maybe the break at Maeda has done it good. Saw a lionfish at safety stop level and lots of stonefish too. Great day of diving.

EANx32. Back at Maeda after a long absence. Still construction going on here, and scheduled to last until the end of May. Saw a big cuttlefish, mating seasnakes and 3 octopi. Great visbility for here (around 20m) and it was nice to be back. Twinjet fins worked quite well too.

EANx31. Saw 2 lionfish. Relatively uneventful dive
