Just my boat Sea Eagle out today. I had Darren Pearce on board and conditions were excellent. We took advantage for a run down to the Ships Graveyard. I wanted to get on the Dunloe but turns out both the marks I have for this wreck are duds. Next up was the Piggott and once again the mark I have was no good. Still in good spirits my third choice was The Pioneer a terrific wreck and one i knew my mark was good for..
We headed slowly back towards the heads and did our next dives on the SS Rotomahana. The vis was slightly better on the Rotomahana than on the Pioneer at circa 15m. We finished the day with a second dive of the day for Darren on the J4. He reported excellent vis especially inside.
If anyone has good marks for the Dunloe and the Piggot I would be really grateful if you could send them to me at President@Vsag.org.au.Just my boat Sea Eagle out today.

See https://www.scubadoctor.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=610 for an update about the Piggott and Dunloe GPS marks.

Do any of those dud marks come from what I have online?

Suggest ask Mark Ryan

Great shots Ian

Our first dive of the day was one of the premier sites in Tassie, Cathedral Cave. The conditions were perfect to allow us to penetrate the complex safely. There were one or two tight squeezes but on the whole this is a very accessible cave system. Plenty of life around including a few Cray's that had part of the team itching for the hunt, alas no one had a Tassie fishing licence so they stayed where they were. Highlight for me was a Draughtboard Shark that we bumped into in one of the passageways. It swam around us a bit before settling on the sand in front of us completely uncorked with our presence. Top dive. Thanks to Mick and Karen at #Eaglehawkdivecentre for hosting us once again. If anyone is down south and fancies a dive we can't recommend these guys highly enough.Our first dive of the day was one of the premier sites in Tassie, Cathedral Cave.

This dive was all about photographing the Sea Spiders that are common at this dive site. I was really pleased with the results I managed. I could only find two species but did find one with eggs. These guys aren't actually spiders but pycnogonids a species of marine arthropod. My two species is a poor effort from the 1300 or so known species. These were about the size of a 10 cent piece but there are species with a leg span of over 70cm. ...
