Our third dive was a shallow drift dive at a depth of 12m. As usual, 30-degree surface temperature and a warm 30 degrees at depth.

I manned the camera this time around and I think we finally found a setting that was perfect for underwater. While automatic or the underwater preset produced lacklustre results (and manual was too finicky underwater), the underwater preset with the flash diffuser was all that we needed.

It worked a treat with all the colourful corals at Wilkes Wall.

Our divemaster Greg started calling our attention to this coral. He was making the “shark” hand gesture but I couldn’t see it. Then I spotted it. If you look very closely, underneath the coral, in the shadow, you can see a small shark (it’s nose is to the right of that rock).

The word? More sealife than our other dives. Less corals but all very colourful. Interesting landscape to navigate.
