Blairgowrie with JJ

Blairgowrie Pier
Another great dive on a nice calm summers day
Buddy is JJ and entry is from the pier rather than beach
so we can spend more time on the breakwater

Portsea Pier

Portsea Pier

A good pier that offers a good way to use up residual air after a boat dive, plenty to see from seadragons to rays. Easy accesss via the pier and walkway,  don't forget the portsea pub for lunch afterward.

Castle Rock

Castle Rock
Just outside the heads past lonsdale arches

Nice dive 18m with a couple of bommies filled with fish life , including Weedy Sea Dragons, Rays and Crays.
Day was a bit too rough for a totally enjoyable dive, and the shallow depths tends to still feel the surface wave actions.

Scantum Reef

Scantum reef
(wall boat dive )
A very good deeper dive (20-30 meter range) along the lonsdale wall
Lot of soft coral, variety of fish life and interesting rock formations including swim throughs
Day was terrific for  diving with good vis 19c water and little wave action on the surface.

50th birthday dive -Portsea

Portsea Hole
(50th birthday dive)
Portsea hole a nice little boat dive just off the Portsea pier.
(too rough for planned wall dive)
depths start at 15 meters down to 25 meters or sand after that)
Good sponges and variety of fish,
Vis can sometimes be varied but today was very good 15m.
(With a very sandy bottom a little disturbance can introduce lots of sediment to deal with in photos)

Mornington Pier

Mornington Pier Dive

- Normal conditions for the pier, vis only so so. 

- Fishermen plentiful 

- Started the dive with a semi drift on the outgoing tide around to the point, very nice way to avoid the lines, finished back to the top of the pier and then down.

Blairgowrie fish count

A day at Blairgowrie for fish count day.
But lots of great sights in very good conditions
