It was at 17:50. I had a new dive buddy to see at 18:00. I had 10 mins only.
I decided to wait a little.
He was so quick to move to the girl...
The girl was not moving at all.
and then....
I could not photograph floating eggs...but i was very satisfied and headed back to the car park

2019-10 CLIFTON GARDENS SUNSET TO NIGHT DIVE
I was very stressed at work. I really needed to get in the water. Thank you Sharon for diving with me tonight.It was a very nice long dive. I saw 3-4 male cardinalfish with eggs in the mouth and 2 female with full of eggs in the tummy. Again, I could not see transferring eggs😭 but never mind! I saw a Australian Pineapplefish for the first time! A bit different from Japanese Pineapplefish... I could not photograph though.
One more week to hatch? I'd like to see hatching out next week..
full of eggs in her tummy
I was not patient enough to see egg transferring again tonight.
My buddy did not want a long dive.... but we did 94 mins long dive... sorry my buddy Sharon!
She was cold in the water so we decided to go...
On my gosh, the diver is looking at me!
hurry up and hide!

2019-10 AMBON INDONESIA
3 day dives in Ambon, Indonesia.
I was not comfortable diving at the 1st dive shop. My neighbours at the hotel asked me to join their dive shop as they saw psychedelic frogfish previous day. I enjoyed there even though i could not see psychedelic...
I had trouble with my sync cable so I could use my D850 only the last day but it was a good excuse to change dive shop.
