Ricketts Point Night Dive

Ricketts Point

Night Dive with Simon Kay at Ricketts Point. went out from the actual point toward the bouys on an incoming tide.  waves increased from gearing up to entry and throughout the dive.  making it a difficult dive with surge and lower vis, we ended the dive after 50 minutes when we realised we were at 9 metres! which at rickets mean you are a long way out!. the surface swim home then proved to be more difficult than normal due to a rip (which is why i think we ended up so far out). Still a good evening of diving is always refreshing!.

Mornington Pier

Mornington Pier

Nice dive with Lynne today at Mornington Pier, Victoria.

conditions were great above but just ok under the pier.  like always the dive here can be somewhat prone to low vis and a bit of a muck dive under the pier.
Life appears to be returning to the pier after the re-modelling but today not huge amounts of fish life.

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.
