Great Barrier Reef

A last minute day on the inner reef with reef magic. For a couple nice lazy dives.

dive 1 was a 40 minute dive on the reef around the pontoon , nice to see, even a turtle.

Dive 2 was a wall dive out from the pontoon area, and was a good semi drift wall dive.

Dive buddy Kai from Canada , nice guy enjoying his backpacking year!

First scuba dive in a while , so picked the safe and reliabale Blairgowrie Pier for a relaxing dive.

 Great conditions without too many other divers around to stir up the silt. reasonable fish life but not overly abundant. a few pics and videos for the record

Point Franklin Drift

Point Franklin

Intro to dive 

Great dive today! Joined the scuba doctor dive today , a drift dive I have never done before, a little bit off course but saw a lot of great stuff and built a desire to do again soon. Point Franklin lies east of Portsea Pier and is one of the most incredible drift dives that the bay has to offer. Dropping to depths of 15 meters and offering incredible terrain and animals, this dive is not one to be missed. Thanks guys for a great dive!
