Bare Island - Weedy Seadragon

[Zero]

They grow up to about 30cm(12in) and its pretty much their regular behaviour. They just float around near the kelp all day. If you want to see some REAL GOOD footage try this site. http://www.aliensofthesea.com/ . The cover has a Leafy Seadragon on it which is a very close relation of the weedy but only found in a small area of Southern Australia. Has a few clips on the site with both weedys and leafys. Check out his camera gear if you just bought the latest and greatest and feel very inadequate. Hate to be in a current with that sucker.
The offer is open to anyone coming through Sydney if you want to go see one or maybe 2 let me know.

Ahh but Ron the diving is so much better here in the winter. Blue water current comes up the coast bringing clear water and westerly winds blow keeping the seas calmer. I would love to try cold water and ice diving at some stage but not every week.

Your winter is like July/August, right? What is the weather like then? Air temps and water temps?

We def. get our best vis in the winter here (right now), but the trade off is water temps around -2C (28F). There is a member of my dive club from I think it's Melbourne though. Came all the way from Aussieland to Canada for an ice diving course a couple years ago! Great fun!
