Terry and David on this excursion consisting of 1 x 90 minute and 1 x 72 minute dives in water depths of 15m to 17m. 5m viz, 26C water temp and a little surge.
With the swell dropping away and predicted westerlies we decided it was a good time to try Currimundi Reef out over the Caloundra Bar. We were pleasantly surprised at the viz which whilst not up to the Outer Gneerings was reasonable for this area given the recent rainfall.
