Organised by Sarah. Others - Andrew, Annette, Maria, Peter (+Susie), Sandy, Justin, Rona. Left home 7.50. Arrived Shiprock Dive 9am. Bought torch. Left quay 10am. Beautiful sunshine - not cold. Water not cold either - no sudden shock like last time. The visibility wasn't tremendous - maybe 20-30ft - but we had a relaxed dive and saw plenty of fish including blue groper, Port Jackson, moray eel, yellowtail, morwongs, scalyfin, leatherjacket. Obviously we were in a different part of the site from the last dive I had there because there weren't as many swim-throughs or walls, but it was still enjoyable. Afterwards we had fish and chips at Bronte beach and took the boys for a quick play in the sea. Bracing. | Wet suit, 82, Arctic etc. Not cold. Others with dry suits suffered leaks. |
