16 Sep 1989 Hallcaine Sydney Australia Wreck site 45 16 41 Iain Hosking, Sarah McCracken Three stars First dive with the Terrigal club (Brisbane Waters Aqualung Club) - birthday present from Sarah. Sea not as calm as expected - very chunderous. But a beautiful day. Fortunately felt OK in the water, and guesstimate of weight required was about right. The wreck was a wooden steamship, so only the machinery is left - boiler, engine, anchor, winches and two bronze props. Plenty of the stuff that glints, though the telegraph has gone. Fish - nannegai, little morays, scalyfin. Also colourful nudibranchs and cup coral. Vis not bad. Suit wet. 82 + 88 cu ft + 2 DVs. About 20lbs lead. Could do with 4 more.
