Portsea pier

portsea pier and west reef

Great to be back in the water today with Christie diving Portsea pier and exploring west to the reef for weedy sea dragons
         Like a lot of dives at Portsea conditions can be somewhat challenging with strong surges and limited visabillity.
 But still a lot to see if you have the time or want to challenge your diving or photographic skills.

Good to see the ray and due to Christie keen eye a sea dragon.

Photos limited due to conditions so video instead.

Blairgowrie pier

Blairgowrie Pier

Sneaky friday dive with simon kay at blairgowrie pier. 1st attempt didnt go well with a neck seal failure , however 2nd was good. dive started on a flood tide.


vis was great and before the tide changed was the best i had seen it. even though the day was wet and windy but very flat within the marina.

Barrier Reef Cairns

Barrier Reef 

Day of diving on the family holiday to Cairns.
Good day out , but the reef looked a bit worse for wear, most likely due to the number of boats at the dive location.  2 dives nice being warm for a dive in July!

Blairgowrie Pier

Blairgowrie Pier

Dive at Blairgowrie Pier after a break from diving, good to be back in the water although it was colder than last time.
Afternoon dive with Remie and Simon, sea life a bit down but most likely due to spider crabs being through in the last few weeks.
