Lynne's 400th Dive

Lynne's 400th Dive

A wonderful winters day dive at blairgowrie pier today, with little wind and sunny conditions the diving was superb with calm conditions & good visibility.  Blairgowrie has a great array of soft corals and growth and is also home to a wide variety of fish and sea creatures.

Big congrats to Lynne for completing 400 dives in 10 years.  Not bad effort for a non professional diver.

Ricketts Point Night Dive

Ricketts Point Night Dive

Nice easy dive at Ricketts Point, with Simon and Graeme, Entered slightly more north than usual , almost directly in front of the boat house, which kept entry in deeper water.
Usual gear up in carpark,follow the path down, head out to go right of the first channel marker then swing left toward the green channel marker. watch for boats as you will be shallow although rare for boats at night inside in the sanctuary.

Sanctum Reef and RYE Pier

Sanctum Reef and Rye Pier

A great day of diving , very fitting for Australia Day weekend, Good Friends, outdoors and enjoyment. Sanctum Reef is a wall dive, one of my favorites, with a dive depth of 20-30 meters and a wall full of soft coral, colour and fish life. Todays dive conditions were simply great 15-20 vis, and very little swell.

Flinders Pier

Flinders Pier

Diving Flinders on a calm day one hour before high tide has been the best way of improving the vis odds.  today was great.

Rye Pier

Rye Pier

A nice summers day and Rye will look great as it did today, Simon, Lynne, Sharon as buddies and a great day to be had. usual, park in front of pier, gear up and go,  use trolley if you don't like the long walk down the pier. First time sneaking out to the new reef, see photos.

Mornington pier

Mornington Pier


With Lynne and Craig, good dive on a very nice day under the pier.
Easy dive , entry via giant stride, ladder exit (or use ledge at start of pier
 to drop gear for easier exit),  stick to under pier and around outside rock wall, end of pier is now fishing free due to break in pier so improves dive and fish numbers. Didn't see any cuttle fish that can be found on the outside rock wall back toward shore.
