Seventh dive at this spot - it's rapidly becoming Sydney's Dunbar. Bill's first post-qualification dive, and better than his open-water dives at Terrigal last weekend. All the fish turned up - catfish, moray eel, sea scorpion, fortescue, scalyfin, morwong, leatherjacket, even a couple of boxfish. Noticeable current, quite clear. | Typhoon dry suit. Thinsulate woolly bear (NOT too hot - others cold). 82 cu ft tank, 28lbs lead. First dip for new Seiko watch and Scubapro Mk 10 DV (excellent!) |
