The Wall, Long Reef Dives

I've dived at The Wall, Long Reef once:

Dive number	Date	Site	Location	Area	Country	Wreck	Freshwater	Depth (m)	Bottom time (min)	Total time (min)	Divers	Quality	Summary	Equipment
503	15 Jan 2000	The Wall, Long Reef	Collaroy	Sydney	Australia			21	38	45	Iain Hosking, Andrew Kennedy		Left Faulconbridge 7am. Weather glum at first, but brightened on the way - finally warm and sunny. Big swell so didn't do Midway Reef as planned. The Wall is a big site with plenty of fish - morwong, leatherjacket (black reef, yellow-striped), eastern blue devil, blue groper (male + female), juvenile scalyfin, old wide, various wrasse and two cuttlefish. The second cuttlefish was eating a morwong head-first. Jane (Stu the skipper's girlfriend) saw it snatch the fish under an overhang. We only saw the tail of the unlucky fish. Vis not that hot, but enough for Andrew to navigate his way back to the line. Followed up the dive with a bacon & egg butty, then back to the mountains to face the music. Sunday - cycled to Faulconbridge Point Lookout with the boys.	82 cu. Ft, plenty of air for this dive. No torch (forgot the batteries).
