Did two dives today on the SS Yongala with Adrenalin Divers based on Flinders Street, Townsville.

The Yongala is billed as Australias best dive and to be honest with you, I'm inclined to agree as it's some of the best diving I've done so far.

I've never seen so much marine life on one dive as I saw down there today: massive Groupers, Napoleon Maori Wrasse, Clownfish, Unicorn fish, Damselfish, Travelly, Barracuda, a Tawny Nurse Shark, you name it. Also, as those who know me will testify, I have a certain thing for snakes, e.g. I don't like them.

All told, in the two dives, I saw 15 olive green sea snakes. Will, the instructor who accompanied us on the first dive, told us afterwards that they were the fourth most venomous in the world...aaaahhhh! Or is that aaarrrrgggghhh?

A big thanks to Paul, Jess, Will and to Emrys who I buddied with on the two dives.

Big problem of the day was moisture getting into my underwater housing (as will be seen in the attached photos).
