Dives

I've dived with Richard C? once:

Dive number	Date	Site	Location	Area	Country	Wreck	Freshwater	Depth (m)	Bottom time (min)	Total time (min)	Divers	Quality	Summary	Equipment
527	8 Nov 2008	Shelly Beach	Manly	Sydney	Australia			9		48	Iain Hosking, Bridget Aitchison, Marion Aitchison, Richard C?		Foursome with Bridget, her daughter Marion (15) and Richard. Up at 6am, left at 7, arrived (via M4, ANZAC Bridge, Harbour Bridge) at 8.15am. Parking $8 for 2 hrs, $16 for the day. Quick to kit up, and warm in the water. Swam along the boulder slope to the right, past wrasse, scalyfin, groper, bullseye and yellowtail to a spot with half a dozen wobbegong. Richard took plenty of photos. Marion (who had ear problems) also had a camera. Water 20°C	Dry suit, 82 cu ft, Buddy Arctic, 21 lbs weight. $149 to have seals replaced on dry suit - well worth it, though right sleeve was pretty wet. Maybe another 3 lbs would help maintain positive pressure. To buy: knife straps.
