They call them "blue swimmer crabs"

That's because they swim bloody fast! Well, when I'm diving in the swan river as I was tonight, trying to catch them, they did dart about avoiding me and the other two divers. Especially as you lose them once they are out of the beam of the torches, which in my case wasn't very much at all as I was using my backup smaller torch at the time :)

It seemed a good suggestion at the time to try and catch some prawns and crabs in the river. Except for it being COLD..... although my dive computer told me it was still 16 degrees (that's about 60 in old money), I didn't believe it for a minute.....brrrrrrr!

But was fun and would do it again, as long as I had another layer on and make sure my main torch is working properly! And caught three good size ones, so crab for dinner tomorrow night.
