Details

This was yet another dive to test a housing. This time it was to test the D300 housing after it came back from service at Ikelite.

I went to the north western corner of the island (where the weedy seadragons are) and tested each control. No water got in at all.

I would have loved to have had the camera as I saw a Port Jackson shark resting its chin on a Port Jackson shark egg. Quite odd. I also saw two male seadragons with eggs.
