There was quite a surge which made things difficult for macro shooters. Fish were abundant, we saw an octopus and a shoal of sardines passed by overhead. No sharks or dolphins chasing though. Cobus Hay, who is also the new Jeffreys Bay Underwater Club chairman, was the DM. He pointed a very small Scarlet Sea Spider out to me.
I was frustrating myself with a leaking mask at the time. I did manage to snap the critter in the end. Being setup for super macro with no control over the very slow auto focus, I decided to just swim around and enjoy the dive and not take more photos. (I ordered a manual focus ring for my housing this week, so hopefully on future dives I will be able to pull focus manually.) Since I was on a super macro function, I only took photos of very small things. It´s amazing, how the small things look identical to the large things when you magnify them and it´s also amazing that there are many small things we miss on a dive. We also noticed a colorful fish we had not seen before, but it was so fast and there was no chance we would be able to get a shot of it. It vanished before we could identify it properly. In the end, time flew, and I logged a 56 minute bottom dive with 70 bars left in the cylinder.
Here are my macro shots:
