A night dive was the perfect solution to beat the January boat ramp chaos. We had two boats in the water at 9.00pm for a slack water dive on the Hurricane. The conditions were perfect on the water and pretty good underneath. With our shot right on the wreck we didn't have to worry about navigation and enjoyed a very nice dive. There was plenty to see including a cheeky Seal using our lights as a fishing aid. I have to admit it scared the hell out of me the first time it shot into my torchlight out of the black.
The only downside of the night was the lack of divers. We went with two spaces on the boats which is a real shame.
Tomorrow I am heading out to the ships graveyard for a dive on the Piggott before hooking up with a few more Vsagers and if shipping allows a dive on Spectacular Reef.
Out tonight were:
On Toucans - Peter Beaumont and myself
On Carmine - Peter and Carole Campisano ...

Pretty ordinary conditions today, particularly outside the heads. Chris Porter and I jumped on #Redboats for a double dive. We started with a slack water on Lonsdale Wall and backed it up with a dive on Castle Rock. I was able to make a contribution to the Weedy Sea Dragon project finding 5 individuals around Castle Rock. The poor buggers were desperately trying to stay out of the wicked surge by getting as far under the rock as they could. ...

I took a trip to Blairgowrie this morning to take part in the 6th Melbourne Sea Slug Census. I finished up with a disappointing 13 species although there were plenty of the ones I did find. Either the smaller varieties are past their peak or I lucked out today. Also there were Peter Beaumont and Matthijs Smith. Considering the recent weather the conditions were good with the vis being pretty good. Peter and I tried for a dive there Friday night and didn't go in as it was pretty rough. ...

The weather put the kibosh on plans to dive Ripbank this morning for Chris Porter & I. It didn't feel much like summer in the rain. Lonsdale Wall is an awesome alternative and got no complaints from the divers on board Red Devil. Despite the Ebb following slack and the nasty looking conditions in the Rip we were given a 60 minute run time by skipper Luke English on #Redboats and gratefully made the most of it. The vis was very good and Luke dropped us onto some great territory.
We followed up with a second dive our planned backbench Cray hunt turning into an exhilarating drift across Sponge Gardens. We covered over 2km for a pretty good dive given the limited options. ...
