My black haired diving wife

Yes, Janice all of sudden decided to go for black hair instead of darker brown. Secretly to hide some of those pesky grey ones that have started creeping in lately.

As you can see she was thrilled for me to take a photo to show off the new hair colour...
[ooops Janice saw the picture and made me remove it.....]

But more exciting is that I finally decided to buy the second dive tank which is useful for boat dives and so we could get out on a dive together. So with an easterly wind blowing to give some calm conditions we got up and headed to Hillary's to dive off the wall towards "boy in a boat" reef. After lugging the gear up and down the rocks we got in and had a fun relaxed dive and although the viz was not so good we did find some cool nudibranchs (yes, I am obsessed with them) AND THEN I saw a piece of seaweed floating along before realising it was actually a weedy seadragon!!!! Very cool as they are pretty rare in the grand scheme of things and tough to spot, looking like seaweed. They are amazing creatures and just float along with the surge. Unfortunately my new camera housing hasn't arrived so no photos..... so you'll just have to believe me, or ask Janice. So when I get that housing you can bet I'll be hanging around there again hoping to see another one.
