Dive 107: my chubby fingers just got even chubbier

I've been watching the abundance of these small fish which I later knew were called Eastern Fortescue, Centropogon australis for a while at Swansea Bridge and I thought they were cute!!! Cute if I don't touch them...

So 20 minutes into this dive, I was trying to hold on to anything that doesn’t move under the bridge in a strong current and I must have spooked one of them and the pain was unreal 😣 😢 and it got worse for the rest of the dive and two weeks after that.

First AID: 
- Hot water to take the sting out, as hot as you can handle and as long as possible 
- Then sting medication and peas

Note to myself: 
do not forget to bring gloves next time
