2 Jan 2023 | The Pinnacles, Forster | Forster | Australia | 32 | 24 | 30 | Iain Hosking, James Hagarty |  |
Sorry to say this was not a particularly enjoyable dive. We had high hopes given good conditions and clear blue water on the surface, but This changed to a soupy green at depth. Also, there was a noticeable current so most of the time was spent hanging onto rocks. Saw one wobbegong. | Fourth Element dry suit, Oceanic Chute 2, 10 litre tank. 29lbs | |||

2 Jan 2023 | Latitude Rock | Forster | Australia | 12 | 49 | 49 | Iain Hosking, James Hagarty |  |
The second dive made up for the first. Headed inshore to Latitude Rock in search of sharks, snd found them plus heaps of other fish. Strong wave action, but nothing we couldn't swim against. Filmed a large puffer fish in a cave, and Keith (dive leader) feeding a blue groper with a sea urchin. Other divers: Harriet (Hattie) from Sydney's Underwater Research Group, SAndrew, Peter, Nick, Charlie (Marine Science graduate and trainee divemaster) and James. | Fourth Element dry suit, Oceanic Chute 2, 12 litre tank. 29lbs.

5 Oct 2024 | Hayden's Rock | off Forster Main Beach | Forster | Australia | 10 | 43 | 43 | Iain Hosking, James Hagarty |  |
Shallow dive, strong swell and somewhat underweight made for a very unsatisfactory experience. No second dive as the suit leaked. Air hose inlet? | Fourth Element dry suit, Oceanic Chute 2, 12 litre tank. 21 lbs (insufficient). |
