๐ MONDAY AFTER-WORK DIVESโฆ YOU NEVER KNOW WHATโS WAITING! ๐ฆ
What a way to finish a Monday! An after-work dive with Swanage Charters at Old Harryโs Drift โ 21ยฐC, around 3m viz and a lovely slow, gentle drift.
Not loads of fish action for most of the dive, but plenty of anemones and Dead Manโs Fingers to explore.
Then, just as we were about to ascend โ isnโt it always the way?! ๐
๐ฆ A TOPE! Just lying there on the seabed. One swish of the tail and he/she was gone!
Now youโre just going to have to take my word for itโฆ
๐ Iโd already clipped my camera back onto my jacket ready to ascend! ๐ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
My first ever tope โ and no photo to prove it! Absolutely buzzing! ๐คฉ
Sometimes itโs just that ONE unexpected encounter that makes the whole dive. ๐
๐คฟ Whatโs the one underwater encounter youโll never forget โ and did you manage to get the photo? ๐

๐๐คฟ EVER BEEN COMPLETELY ENGULFED BY FISH? ๐
Why stop at one dive? After an awesome Sunday dive on the SS Kyarra, we headed to the Fleur de Lys & Barge for a lovely slow drift.
๐ 2โ3m viz | ๐ก๏ธ 20ยฐC | ๐ Slow bimble
More congers, fewer nudibranchs than last time, but the fish life was AMAZING!
