Haven Sponge Gardens Dives

I've dived at Haven Sponge Gardens once:

Dive number	Date	Site	Location	Area	Country	Wreck	Freshwater	Depth (m)	Bottom time (min)	Total time (min)	Divers	Quality	Summary	Equipment
405	13 Jan 1990	Haven Sponge Gardens	Terrigal	Sydney	Australia			20	30	32	Iain Hosking, Cathy Humphries		Donned the wetsuit in an attempt to keep cool. BC inflation hose burst before the dive so reduced to mouth inflation. Had to dismantle and reassemble it on the dive before it would hold any air. Vis pretty poor. Saw boulders, sponges, scalyfin (many juveniles), wrasse, shrimp (cleaning station?) and a huge whelk-like thing.
