Boar Fish Reef

Boar Fish Reef

A day dive with red boats and Lynne to Boar Fish Reef.  although rough at portsea , calm conditions at the dive site due to winds being from the west.
A nice dive of 50 minutes & 22 Meters. wit some of my favorite Blue Devil fish's hiding under the ledges.  A nice place if you are looking for a shallower boat dive inside the heads.

Lynne photobombs the shot if this very large fish.

North Wall

North Wall

A day of diving with a new boat company - Red Boats, 2 dives the first at dragons lair, which one year i will actually remember that this is outside of the heads and not to ever do unless it is very very flat. - So first dive has no photos , but we did see the sea dragons , a port Jackson shark and a number of other things, but surge here kept visibility very low.  The 2nd dive was great wall diving in Melbourne, great conditions , very good boat to operate from and good buddies.

linley point mornington

linley point Mornington

Nice Dive At Linley point with Reemie, 
Reasonable amount to see, calm day made it a very relaxing dive. Reef has lots to fossick around in ,

Depth 6.2 meters out the back.

Couple of notes:
Watch for boats suggest surface swim until on the other side of boat ramp.
Head toward the green marker bouy as trying to shortcut is too shallow for fun diving.

New Mornington Pier

Mornington Pier

A new dive at the renovated pier, entry and exits are now easy with low landings and new scuba friendly ladders.  Sealife is starting to come back but will take a while , but still a nice dive, with lots of different areas from the cave like conditions at the start of the pier to the nice section under the pier , the front section with the rock wall offers lots of nooks to explore.

Dive:

Blairgowrie Pier.

Blairgowrie Pier

A dive at Blairgowrie, but changes with the pier extensions have seen sand dredged being built up under the outer wall, to almost level with the bottom of the sea wall.
But still an enjoyable dive and a spotted stingray for something different.

Dive buddy: Simon Kay
time 1.20

Sand now under the seawall, so now a shallow dive.
