On Saturday the conditions were magnificent. All the boats were out and all the competitors were taking images in fantastic visibility of around 10 metres. It was with more than a little surprise when i realised that there would be no diving on the Sunday as the weather turned with serious 50 MPH winds out in the North Sea. By the time i arrived down in St. Abbs with my buddy Derek Borthwick a 5 metre swell was crashing spectacularly over the rocks. It was then we found out that one of the boats had got out for a quick dive in the morning, the intrepid divers being rewarded with a sighting of a john Dory, Which is fairly Special.
The judging show was well attended and i took the opportunity to rub shoulders with my underwater photograph buddies and caught up with the news.
My picture of Derek with a lions mane jellyfish secured 3rd spot in the reserve atmospheric category. There were some other nice images and Brian Jubbs daughter was a worthy winner of the whole contest with her excellent shot of a shanny.
