I had a bit of a run in with a film crew who had hogged all the road and parking spaces before the dive but I managed to settle down before entering the water.

We did have one diver who had blood shot eyes and felt physically sick after his first dive, He didn't look too good at all and at first we thought it may have been CO2 retention but the blood shot eyes were getting worse so we called DAN and they had a chat and asked him to go to hospital for further checks. I suspect it may have been a pre-existing condition exasperated by the diving as we had only been to about 12M and he was fine until he started to ascend (It may have been sinus related- hence the bloody eyes?). It turns out Brendan (the diver in question) had a sever case of Mask Squeeze and as he hadn't equalized his mask correctly he had burst all the capillaries in his eyes. He was fine after an hour or so.
Here is a video of the complete dive, A bit long but captured for the record and there is some good Weedy Sea dragon footage in here.
My Dive buddy was Mihn and the DM was George.
