There’s been some fantastic diving lately. Viz from 15 up to 25 metres on the HMAS BRISBANE and water temperature hovering between 23C and 24C go together well and make for some awesome diving.
Even Mudjimba Island has turned in some good viz as the water has been very blue recently. Plenty of marine life is to be found around the HMAS BRISBANE still, in spite of the illegal fishing that goes on. We’ve seen a number of our resident friends disappear, presumably on the end of a fishing line. It would be nice to see the authorities get serious about policing the area. We have so many rules to comply with to enable us to enter the conservation park and then more to comply with when we dive plus the thousands of dollars that are levied against all divers we take there, yet the policing is a question mark in my mind.
As has been found in many other areas when closures have been enforced, if maintained and policed, then there is a spill over in time, onto neighbouring reefs and everybody wins. This is what is supposed to happen with the HMAS BRISBANE but never seems to quite make it.
Dive Safe,
Greg
