21 Jan 2024 Fairlight Manly Sydney Australia 9 46 46 Alexander Hosking Two stars Warm, sunny day. Fairlight recommended by Dive Centre Manly as Shelly Beach was exposed to the NE wind. Scored a good parking spot and lugged all the gear down to the beach to change there. Very shallow at first, and poor vis. I was underweight, wihch looked like a showstopper until I figured out that the BC had to be vented repeatedly. The inlet valve may have been jammed partially open. Alexander was OK with my wet suit and 18 lbs of weight. Life: eastern blue devil, wobbegong under a ledge, wrasse, sponges. Fourth Element dry suit, Oceanic Chute 2, 10 litre tank. 10 kg (21lbs) weight + whatever is in the BC. Go Pro 5. Green C-cell torch.
