Details: I’ve been dying to dive around Pt Lonsdale pier the last week or so on slack to try to find some Catsharks. We got out around the pier and found quiet a few young crays. at the end of the pier, a Bronze Whaler head sat decapitated at the end of the pier. It was a sad sight and also a little bit intimidating. A Banjo Shark sat close by as well, and then we headed out towards the north to see if there were any decent ledges out there, and in particular any catsharks. We did a lot of swimming and didn’t find much out there. On the way back in Chris found a catshark, but i missed out. It was getting pretty scary with the current and surge towards the end of the dive and making our way in across the rocks was a little dicey.
Camera Details: Canon 17-40mm , dual SS200 strobes
