With 21C water temp and the day time temperature creeping up, it's making getting out on the water for a dive, a very desirable thing to do. The visibility on the former HMAS BRISBANE and the Gneering Shoals has been great this past week. We had reports of 15, 20 and 25 metres at times. The Grey Nurse sharks are still out on the Gneerings. Whales are heading south and coming in quite close. One breached within 100 metres of our boat while they were on the HMAS BRISBANE on Sunday. We had a couple of hic-cups with boats on the weekend which required some swapping around but I'm pleased to report that all is back to normal again.  Kelly landed in Brisbane last night and from the brief report I got, they certainly had a fantastic trip and the experience of snorkeling with the whales in Tonga is one that is beyond description. The photos will tell the story and from what Kell said, there are some fantastic photos depicting the experience. The scuba diving was also great with exceptional visibility.
