A group of 8 headed off to South Australia to join the MV Rodney Fox for a Livaboard trip down to the Neptune Islands for some Great White Shark cage diving. Rodney Fox is the only operator who offers diving in a bottom cage alongside the usual surface cage. We left Port Adelaide at 16.oo on Wednesday and arrived at our first stop in the South Neptunes at 10.00am the following morning. After a fruitless few hours trying to attract the sharks we relocated to the North Neptunes. The sharks were on the scene almost immediately and we did the first of our bottom cage dives. The following day the weather wasn't suitable for the bottom cage so we did surface cage dives only. Again there were plenty of shark action. On our final day we did two more rounds of bottom cage diving before heading back to port arriving mid morning the following day.
Photography wasn't easy in the cages as they bounced about all over the place , the water was dirty with burley and there were constant schools of Trevelly in the bloody way but between us we got worthwhile stuff.
Aside from the sharks the highlight of the trip was a VSAG cap getting blown off of Dylan's head and being immediately swallowed by a shark when it hit the water.
Travelling were: Ian Scholey, David Flew, Matthijs Smith, Dylan Smith, Greg Richards, Leo Maybus, Mick Kakafikas and Jeff Saunders.

Another great VSAG trip Ian Scholey. Big thanks for organising. Do you know the name of that fish with the white belly you kept photographing?

Weren’t any of you game enough to venture outside the cage (as chum) and take one for the team? 😳

Nice shark shots. Never seen so many seagull photos!

My wife got knocked back when she did her medical because of her asthma she isn’t a bad asthmatic but it was enough 😔😔

It used to be a no no for asthmatics but now if you can blow the peak flow meter to a certain point they will generally pass your medical. Useing preventatives b4 the dive can also help

Your friend needs to go and discuss it with SPUMS diving doctor who is an active diver.

A little bit of shark action from the VSAG Rodney Fox expedition this weekend. More pictures and videos to come but cage diving adds several dimensions of complexity to underwater photography. Brilliant trip with excellent food from Gigi, the French cook who had to turn the pork in the middle of a cage dive. [play loud!] ... See MoreSee Less

We had a great day diving for crays down at Arch Rock today on Mistress. Peter Galvin was also out on Stroker and competition was fierce for cray of the day. Mike Mosseveld took the honours with a 3.6kg monster. Surface conditions were ideal but the surge wasn’t great causing reduced visibility when sand was disturbed. Water was 17c.The surprise of the day was bagging an Eastern Rock Lobster. None of us had encountered an Eastern RL before in Victorian waters and was wondering if anyone else had? ...

Wow

What is size limit for an eastern?

Interesting to see this eastern Cray, I wonder if they are often cought by the professionals? I have never seen them for sale in Victoria, growing to 15 kg is a worry, any Sweep?

Looking for suggestions for new dive boat...
Around 6m, easy to board, tuff construction (bullet-proof), but also flexibility as a family touring boat for day trips around the bays. Boat will be made available for VSAG outings.
Anny suggestions welcome.

Bar crusher

David Politakis has one. Great boat.

I use a Stabicraft for diving and its fantastic

Can't go past a Bar Crusher. Excellent boat and fantastic back up service from the Bar Crusher team,

Andrew McKernan BarCrusher & Stabi both very good hulls for diving. test drive them for your own satisfaction as they do handle quite differently underway and at rest. i prefer the BC. personally i would say you want o be 6.5 m + so you have room to move in the back deck area if accommodating divers and all the crap that goes with it, i have the 730HT and it’s my second BC. also go max HP if considering offshore diving. good luck. Matt @ BC Dandenong excellent salesperson including after sales care and follow up.

Chris Porter and I headed out on #redboats this morning. It's amazing how quickly conditions can change. On Tuesday we had fantastic Vis in the rain while today it was awful in the sunshine. It was a real challenge to take a decent snap so the camera didn't get much action. Instead I concentrated on enjoying the dive and dealing with the weird and wonderful things the current was doing. There were some quite strong down currents over the wall which required a bit of concentration until the slack kicked in. The vis was pretty grim. We had a plan for a maximum depth of 45m and a run time of 55 minutes and hit the surface having executed it perfectly. The territory was good and we enjoyed the dive despite the vis. ...

It's been a while since I had a good Nudibranch hunt and I put that right yesterday with a trip to Blairgowrie.
I was in for 3 hours 27 minutes which is long even for me. I didn't get deeper than 3m and the water was a toasty 19 degrees. I found a great selection of my sluggish friends although I had to work pretty hard to find the interesting stuff.
I timed my exit to perfection and headed off for a post dive Coffee with Peter Beaumont. A nice chilled day.

I have to admit I was not that enthusiastic when my alarm went off at 5.00am and I looked out of the window. But I got up and in the pouring rain drove down to Portsea for the 7.15am #redboats boat. We were trying for Captain Nitros Drop-off but shipping put paid to that and Luke English explained Plan B was The Links. Buddy Chris Porter and I have dived the wall a time or two but neither of us could remember diving this site. We were warned to watch our Deco due to the fast out going tide at the end of slack so kept our depth to a max of 36m to give us a decent run time without too much deco.We were first in and descended onto some really very nice territory. It was a bloody good dive making getting up well worth while. We ran for just short of an hour hitting the surface well away from the Rip as requested. After all of my recent travel it was good to be back on our magnificent dive sites. ... See MoreSee Less

FYIDiving for scallops or crays, or spearfishing? You might be joined by one of our Fisheries Officers in the water!

Inspections can take place in and under water, so if you see a diver in a bright orange vest approaching, they're checking out your catch.

These two freedivers near Rye were more than happy to show off their delicious haul of scallops. Yum!

To find out more about collecting scallops in Port Phillip, visit vfa.vic.gov.au/recreational-fishing/recreational-fishing-guide/catch-limits-and-closed-seasons/ty...

It's been a huge end of year for me and i'm a little behind with Photo's. Just got around to going through these today after the SA trip and then a Hogan Island trip two days later I still have another 28 dives to go through to catch up. More on these trips over the coming weeks but both produced some spectacular diving.
This dive was a Fishcount dive and I was joined by Peter Beaumont and Christine Reynolds. I have to admit that Flinders isn't my favourite spot but when the conditions are perfect it can be spectacular. We were lucky to get a great day and I was pleased with the pictures. I was also hunting for Dragons for #seadragonsearch and I think I found 13 individuals.

Hard to believe it is still there, must have first seen this when I was a kid, strange though it doesn’t seem to have grown much in that time.

Argh, I'm going to need a bigger boat!

Too big for the pot!😆

Hi all,
We're thinking of doing a short road trip to Adelaide for diving - any suggestions or tips? We will have about 5 days on the ground hopefully, first time heading this direction.
We've peeked at the itinerary that Ian sent out last month (would have been great to join the trip!), so are thinking the jetties (Edithburgh, Rapid Bay, Port Noarlunga) and perhaps a boat dive or two. Recommendations of dive shops to go through? Any tips for the jetties as to preferred weather conditions etc?
What about Ewens Ponds - we have seen there is a permit system to book time in the ponds - easy to navigate, or should we look to book a tour with someone?
Thanks for any advice!

Ewens ponds are about a 5 hour drive from Adelaide, so maybe if your gunna do that it might be an idea to do it on the way home?

An interesting find at Edithburgh Jetty the week before last. With the aid of Google I managed to identify it as a Tobacco Knife from circa 1890-1900. At the time Edithburgh was the 3rd busiest port in Australia. Given where it was found we are thinking it came from one of the ships docked there. The blade has rusted away but the thing is in good shape considering how long it has likely been down there. ... See MoreSee Less
