A mid week night dive at flinders pier with Simon Kay.Nice day with flat seas and no wind , too good not to go diving.
Nice dive with Lynne, Craig and Simon. the pier was a bit disappointing today in terms of fish life, so photos a bit dull , but good practice with strobes and focussing, still nice to be underwater!!
ok, so the last dive was so good just had to try it again. Today was a dive on the end of flood to high tide and the first ten minutes had strong onshore currents, so misjudged the slack by that much! A great dive though with Remi and Lynne, with blue devil fish, port jackson sharks, a huge cuttle fish, lots of angel fish, weedy sea dragons and just about everything in between!.
First dive at Cottage by the Sea, a beach dive site just outside of Queenscliff.This has to be one of the best beach entry sites in the bay, granted today conditions were near perfect, but the wide variety of life from blue devils to sea dragons and almost everything in between made it very interesting. (see maps and directions in read more section.)

| Cottage by the Sea dive entry. Enter mear rocks and head straight out toward reef (darker patch near boat anchored). Nice wall system runs the length with lots of overhangs with plenty of life. |
A boat dive to boar fish reef, a nice reef area in port phillip bay, with Lynne Sullivan.Reasonable amount to see and at a nice comfortable depth of between 15 to 20 metres.
Dive at blairgowrie pier, one of my favorite dive sites. Today JJ was trying out his new camera with Reemie and I using the residual air from this mornings dive.
Diving in the bay at the moment rocks!! Vis like never before, 19C water temp, flat conditions and nice easy currents. Combined with great fish life, cuttlefish, port jackson sharks, and of course the most amazing blue devil fish. Boarfish is a wide reef area boat dive via dive vic.
A boat dive on Foggy Reef, haven't dive this spot for years, and what a surprise, great part of the wall to dive, at the start of the wall, basically where it turns toward queenscliff, full of overhangs, gullies there is even an anchor to look out for (we didn't see it). Dive conditions were great. But a novice mistake with the camera (not extending the flash arm ) meant sediment in most shots were a big issue. But a great excuse to do this dive again soon!!
