Well what a great weekend for diving!! Starlet and i ended up diving Saturday and Today (Monday) which turned out good for us.
Saturdays dive was at Bare Island and VIS had cleared up quite a bit. I think at one stage we had around 10 metres, which is about the best we could have hoped for there. We did a nice calm dive from the right hand side of the island around the back to around 15 metres depth and back to the entry point. We saw an Octopus, some sergeant bakers, a (roughly) metre sting ray and that was about it. When we got out we met Bowlofpetunias and Fish was talking with some other people so we didn't get to meet - Next time!
Second dive was on the left hand side of the Island VIS was a bit better on that side and although we didn't see a great deal, we spent some time going through some drills, like mask removal, gear removal and getting it back on and a CESA from 5 metres after a safety stop.
Today we were supposed to dive Voodoo which is just south of Botany Bay, when we got there conditions looked great, but after a couple of divers came out and said the surge was too great, we turned and headed for Steps.
VIS was great, i think we had around 20 metres and saw heaps of weedies (maybe 7), a squid, occy and a few other cool things. Second dive the vis wasn't as good, probably back to about 5-10 metres but still decent. We saw another big occy, a big blue groper and a Giant Cuttlefish..
It was heaps of fun to get out and without rushing get two full days of diving in. Why can't all weekends be three days!!!!!??
Also we decided on getting our AOW in July at Jervis Bay, so that will be fun to look forward to and to practice for in the coming weeks!
So how was everyone elses weekend?
P.S Bowlofpetunias, great meeting you, and love the pics!
