Many have been expecting the water to be dirty for some time, due to the heavy rain we’ve had recently. Well the news is all good as we have been experiencing visibility between 12-20 metres on the HMAS BRISBANE. It did drop to 7-10 metres a couple of days ago but it’s back up to that 15-20 metre range again today. Water temp is around 20-21C so it is time to pull out the thicker wetsuits and get the hood and gloves ready. The south westerlies have calmed the seas and flattened out the swell. It didn’t get up to anywhere near what was predicted and was quite safe and diveable over the past week.

There’s been heaps of life around the BRISBANE with all sorts of action going on but the highlight was the encounter with a manta ray on the stern deck yesterday.

A spray jacket or something similar worn over your wetsuit while on board the dive boat, is a good option just to keep you warm between dives during the winter months.
