Blairgowrie

Blairgowrie

Nice dive with Remi today at Blairgowrie,

Been awhile since we have done here, and the life is slowly coming back after the construction works, although sea life is still somewhat limited. Dive was about 3 hours before high tide, with current only becoming noticeable toward end of dive.

J4 and The Zoo

J4 & the Zoo

Great day of diving with Remi and Friends, with Dive Vic, frist dive was the J4 Sub which located outside the heads was a bit rougher than expected with low vis on the Sub. But still not a bad dive. 

The 2nd dive for the day was the Zoo, just down from boar fish reef to keep a bit more away from the heads , this was a very relaxing dive of around 18-20 meters  with a wide variety of fish life, including smooth rays, blue devil fish etc.

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. 

Mornington Night Dive

Mornington Night Dive

A nice night dive on the new pier in Mornington. Dive buddies Craig , Simon & Remi.

Not a bad night but vis was on the lower side , but the creatures are starting to return, will be a very good spot in years to come.

Octopus under the Pier

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.
