15 Jan 2000 The Wall, Long Reef Collaroy Sydney Australia 21 38 45 Iain Hosking, Andrew Kennedy Three stars Left Faulconbridge 7am. Weather glum at first, but brightened on the way - finally warm and sunny. Big swell so didn't do Midway Reef as planned. The Wall is a big site with plenty of fish - morwong, leatherjacket (black reef, yellow-striped), eastern blue devil, blue groper (male + female), juvenile scalyfin, old wide, various wrasse and two cuttlefish. The second cuttlefish was eating a morwong head-first. Jane (Stu the skipper's girlfriend) saw it snatch the fish under an overhang. We only saw the tail of the unlucky fish. Vis not that hot, but enough for Andrew to navigate his way back to the line. Followed up the dive with a bacon & egg butty, then back to the mountains to face the music. Sunday - cycled to Faulconbridge Point Lookout with the boys. 82 cu. Ft, plenty of air for this dive. No torch (forgot the batteries).
