Jordfall 02-02-2020 Camera settings and cold waters

Hej och hå!

This week me and my dive buddies went once again to Jordfalls harbor to dive.

Daubed shanny

As it coincided, the weather was very nice with brilliant sun and a very high temperature for January. When we arrived at the dive site we picked out all the stuff, divided ourselves into dive pairs and got ourselves ready for diving. I recently made some new settings on my camera, so this time I was going to test these "in the field".

The first dive followed me and my dive-mate the cliff wall outwards to keep us at a reasonably reasonable depth. During this dive we observed, among other things, many other Daubed shannies as well as a Grey gurnard

The Grey gurnard uses it's fins to creep along the seafloor

On today's second dive, we used new dive pairs, as some of us had become cold during the first dive and therefore choose to not do another dive. This dive we decided to go a short time and a little deeper as we were all half-cold and did not have a very long surface interval. Me and my dive buddy made a surface swim to the end of the floating dock before we went down. Once down we started going out towards the soft bottom to look for king crabs, unfortunately the king crabs was nowhere to be found during this dive. Instead, we found various other little things, such as a striped sea cook, swimming crabs and hermit crabs.

When it was then time to turn back and finish the dive, we followed the bottom up until we got into waist-deep water and decided to just get up.

All in all, this was a very nice diving day. 

So until next time, Keep on Swimming!
