Blairgowrie Pier

Blairgowrie Pier

Very nice pier dive today with Simon Kay, conditions were great with sunshine and very calm diving conditions. First dive with Aeris A300 CS dive computer.
Time 1:23 minutes
Depth  5.9m
Temp 9c


The New dive computer: Great display, good menus , but doesn't show Dive Time Lapsed on main screen, originally thought that it was how I set it, but alas no, DTL doesn't show on main screen just NDC and Air time remaining. For a lot of rec dives the more important element is DTL to match run times for boats etc.
Compass has played up (needed battery pull to get working again) and although not a major issue the wireless does drop out way more than a VT3.  Not sure it will suit rec divers with the need to push another button to read Dive time remaining especially when that is a screen with very small text. (why i bought a large display in the first place) .  The picture is actually on land and is pointing West not South as per compass. had tried before dive and was correct, fixed by pulling battery and re-calibrating. just re-calibrating locked up dive computer, requiring the battery removal.

Foggy Reef

Foggy Reef

A great dive today in the most calm conditions ever.
Although vis was ok it was not as good as I have seen at Foggy Reef, and with a reasonable current flowing for most of the dive it almost became a drift dive.  All the usual wall coral and creatures, didn't see the seals that were playing on the surface when we arrived .

Dive buddy was Mary-Anne.
Time 45 minutes
Depth 30 Metres.
