A single shore entry dive by Gary and Nick of 73 minutes. Maximum depth 5.4 m, 23 C water temperature and up to 8 m viz.
The dredger is back and with a vengeance. An hour into our dive it cheeped closer to us dropping a float and a massive cloud with deafening affect so out we went! Once out of the water they came over and asked if we were ok and that they would be working Fish Cage and Rotunda close to shore for the next week. S H I T ! Despite that the water was very clean. Unidentia species were out in force and quite large. So off to Toilet Block we go...
