November saw us back to Western Australia to continue our coverage on the diving scene of Australia’s biggest state. We dived Rowley Shoals on board the wonderful Kimberley Escape once more. The Shoals did not disappoint. We had wonderful warm dives and fast drifts and the colours of the fan and soft corals were in full tropical force.
Then we went back to WA’s best kept secret of snorkeling with Australian Sea Lions. To keep it secret, to keep it safe, we shall not write where 
Then we continued south and bravely got into our Scubapro semi-dry suits and dived the temperate seas of South Western Australia. Diving Busselton Jetty with Dive Shed was fantastic. Just 7 metres deep, each pylon hosted super saturated colours of orange and yellows and violets not to mention the fishlife that abound. The cutest imaginable globefish – WA’s equivalent to Nemo. Oh yes, the HMAS Swan was a good one too.
Then finally, Albany. It was a mighty fine trip with Albany Dive hosting our 4 spectacular dives. We did not mind freezing at 17℃, Uwe Klinge made it worth our while showing us the elusive weedy sea dragons and the playful New Zealand Fur Seals. Temperate diving for us tropical rats was truly worth freezing our butts off.
