18 Dec 1988 | Osborne Shoals | Sydney | Australia | 22 | 30 | 30 | Iain Hosking, Martin Zolfel |  |
Liked the previous dive so much it made sense to have another one (even at $20 a throw). This site is just out from the mouth of Dolan's bay. Still good weather. Got off to a bad start when the mouthpiece broke off on my DV. Then the anchor chain bounced up because of the swell and ripped my mask off. Things improved after this, though, and we had a very relaxed plowter around in the swell. Saw bullseyes, yellowtail, trevally, a boxfish and a ray. We had a spot of bother getting Sarah off to Orange afterwards, but she's safely on the train now. She also has a car. | ||||

4 Jun 1995 | Osborne Shoals | Sydney | Australia | 18 | 40 | 40 | Iain Hosking, Sarah McCracken | |
Sarah's idea, approved by Cathy. Went out with Karl St John ($30). Pissing with rain, but reasonable vis. Big cuttlefish (came out of his cave for a closer look), yellowtail, morwong, blue groper. Afterwards: Guinness at the Mercantile and a visit to the Rocks Sunday Market. A good day. | Dry suit was actually a wet suit. Didn't notice till after the dive, though. |
