Hope your dive went well Steve.
We had an interesting dive last night trying to find Paul's yacht cover. We never ended up finding it - viz ranged between 0-20cm (about 15cm at least layer of silt on the bottom) and we did snakes up and down around his yacht but seeing as the viz was so bad we would have missed it easy. Or it has floated off to Queenscliff by now We were thinking next time of planting a pole under his boat and tying a line off to it and going around and round in circles. Anyway, it was good navigation practice (I think we did ok even without being able to see the compass a lot of the time and also a cross current) as well as practice holding depth without any kind of external reference.
