Chapter of accidents. Tanks out of test and empty. Triathlon so Harbour Bridge closed and city gridlocked. Frog Dive and Scuba Warehouse both closed on Sunday. Other shops had nitrox only. Eventually hired tanks from Pro-Dive Coogee and met Deborah at North Bondi. Even parking was a drama. Kitted up to find...no fins. So had to split the dive into two, one with each buddy. Eventually entered the water off rocks with Deborah and she took off like a ferret up a drainpipe. I was watching air consumption so had to call a halt after 20 minutes to preserve air for 2nd dive with Cameron. Saw boulders, sea urchins and various fish, being mercilessly hunted down by spearfishermen. Highlight was one small but scared coral trout. | Dryish suit. New TUSA Element II dive computer, 21 lbs, hired 88 cu ft tank (own out of test). Borrowed Cameron's fins. |
