One Mile Gutter Dives

I've dived at One Mile Gutter 2 times:

Dive number	Date	Site	Location	Area	Country	Wreck	Freshwater	Depth (m)	Bottom time (min)	Total time (min)	Divers	Quality	Summary	Equipment
439	19 Dec 1990	One Mile Gutter		Forster	Australia			11	74	74	Iain Hosking, Cathy Humphries		Very shallow dive, so very relaxed. Swam up and down the gutter and out over the sand. Just as many fish as this morning, but a different selection, generally smaller. Many boxfish, a puffer fish, shoals of mado, bullseyes, yellowtail, stripey and some gropers. The mado were chasing off the scalyfin. A long wrasse took a bite out of my finger. Highlights were the eagle rays (2 mating) and a shoal of squid, looking like pelagic fish. Also cuttlefish, a wobbegong, with shrimps on its head. Porcupine fish.	Wetsuit - not cold.
580	29 Dec 2023	One Mile Gutter		Forster	Australia			8	48	49			Ron refers to this site as South One Mile because it's at the south end of One Mile Beach). Another shallow dive to suit snorkellers. No sharks, but saw an eagle ray (maybe two), smaller rays, wobbegong, Port Jackson skarks, green spotted puffer fish, eastern blue devil and much else.	New Scubapro wet suit, Oceanic Chute 2, 10 litre tank. 18 lb weight belt (plus weights in BC). Go Pro 5. Green C-cell torch. Lost the (old) compass from the BC pocket; left with just a metal buckle attached to the lanyard. High pressure hose had a slow leak, so Gabby replaced it at the shop afterwards.
