Day 2 of the shark dives at "The Cathedral" the shark dive site of Beqa Lagoon Resort. If you havent done this dive before, put it on your bucket list. We did two dives today, both same stats roughly. Weather was overcast and sea quite choppy - was a tad nervous on the clamber from the transfer tinny into the dive boat I can tell you.
Im wearing a 7mm suit so having to wear lots of weight to stay down (you want to be negative on the bottom) - call me a princess but after a year of diving the Great Barrier Reef in the warm waters of Cairns, I dont like cold water diving anymore! I got a tad cold today even in a 7mm
The boat moors on top of a bommie, and at the bottom is 'the arena' where you sit behind a short curved wall or ( like me and a few others who have done this before) off the end of the wall so there is nothing but sand and water between you and the sharks!
Its about 20-23 mtrs deep, and you have DMs behind the line of divers with poles to nudge any sharks getting a bit too curious and close away from you so it feels completely safe.
In front the wall, you have the shark feeders. They dont hand feed here for except certain sharks. Absolutely exhilarating when once they know you are comfortable with the food drops, and the feeding craziness that follows, they start to drop the food a lot closer in front of you and it drifts down so the sharks come at you real fast!
Suddenly you have swarms of little fish and massive bull sharks and lemon sharks all vying for the food scraps falling to the sea floor. The other feeder is on the sea floor, throwing fish heads about for the fish to fight over.
Unfortunately I had camera issues today, losing a fibre optic cable somehow between the first and second dives, and my shutter button was sticking so it wasnt focusing properly, but luckily I had given my brother my gopro and he captured some cool stuff despite not knowing whether it was on or off half the time haha, so the first photo is a screen grab from part of his video. Shame I cant load that short clip to give you a real feel for it. The others are not the best photos due to the focusing issues I had but there is always tomorrow.
The young bull with the rope cutting into his neck we first noticed when we were here in June for Shark School. It is still here but unless that rope is removed it will slowly get strangled as it grows. We are hoping that along with the shark expert with us again for Shark School and the Beqa team of shark divers, that we can successfully remove that rope this week.

We are in Beqa Lagoon Resort for a week of shark diving and today was" check out" dives in the lagoon in front of the resort. I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the reef, and found loads of critters to practice my photography on. Was very shallow, (max depth only 6.5mtrs).
A group of disc anenomes (balloon corallimorph) was cool, hadnt seen that before, a juvenile zebra lionfish (about 15cm body length at a guess), glass anenome shrimps, squat anenome shrimps, of course Nemo - but captured photo with his tiny teeth showing so pretty stoked with that, plus all the usual suspects.
While we are here for the thrilling shark dives at the cathedral (coming back for a second time - I did this for a week back in June and it was so good I came back), I really enjoyed the cruisyness and chillaxin dive in the lagoon. Will do a few more shore dives here including night dives with my UV torch!
