Organised by Ed from Scuba Warehouse; two tanks and barbecue for $60. This dive guided by Terry. Beautiful weather above the surface belied the murky desert beneath. High point was a car wreck. Dive was cut short by the high air consumption of one of the dives; I finished with 120 bar (the nominated return threshold). Insufficient weight for the dry suit; I pocketed a couple of rocks to little effect. Good barbecue afterwards, and a friendly crowd | Fourth Element dry suit, steel tank, Arctic, 21 lbs | ||

Second dive of the day. Kevin agreed we should dive as a pair, and we headed east towards a fisherman on a rocky point. We had a lengthy snorkel before we hit a diveable depth, and then there was a long spell at 3m, over a depressing amount of rubbish and little life other than stripey and goatfish, but we eventually saw a ray, and the return trip was much better, amongst sandstone boulders and overhangs. I even caught a glimpse of an octopus; an orange leg in a crevice with shells stuck to his suckers. He retreated fast, though. It was hard to escape the impression that the sea life was either fished out or scared. | Fourth Element dry suit, steel tank, Arctic, 27 lbs |
