8 Dec 1990 Bombo Wollongong Sydney Australia Wreck site 32 29 29 Iain Hosking, Martin Zolfel Four stars This was another 5am wakey wakey job. Martin drove us down, and we used the boat of a couple of blokes he knows. Sea was pretty calm, but on a very strong swell, and the other group of divers had to abort their dive when one of them became sick. We dropped down the anchor line to the stern, and had a look through the engine room (full of nannegai) then swam through to the port side, up the wreck and in again at the forward swim-through. Here we surprised a lovely big cuttlefish 1.5 feet long, with frilly tentacles, orange and red. We also surprised a moray eel when my weightbelt fell off. Vis not too good, but a very enjoyable dive.

1 Dec 1991 Bombo Wollongong Sydney Australia Wreck site 32 22 27 Iain Hosking, Martin Zolfel, Mary-Ann ? Three stars Just under one year since the last dive on this wreck. Visibility not brilliant but another hot day with a fairly calm sea. Heaps of nannegais - enough to spoil the vis! Very atmospheric inside, with other divers' torches shining through the murk. Dived with Martin and Mary-Ann (nurse from Nepean). Good dive.
