There were six of us heading to Mornington Peninsula in the morning. Our first dive of the day was at Rye Pier, there was some current but otherwise it was another great dive at Rye. This was also my first time at Rye with my macro lens and I ended up with some great shots of seahorses, spider crabs and hermit crabs. While the dive went well for the most part, one of our visitors was having some problems with her gear and eventually she had to skip the dive altogether.
Due to somewhat annoying tides we were pretty much stuck doing Mornington (one of the few deeper shore dives on this side of the Bay doable even at low tide) as the second dive of the day. It’s not my favorite pier dive in Melbourne, but I still ended up enjoying it quite a bit. It was nice to explore the pier properly (we did a full round around the outer part) and we did up seeing a couple of seahorses and quite a few fish as well. Unfortunately, the girl who had to skip the first dive was still having problems and despite quite a few attempts to get underwater she eventually had to give up and she ended up missing both dives.
