Dive EX-HMAS Brisbane Report 7th August - 14th August 2009

Dive Report;
What fantastic weather, and it continues!!!
The sea conditions and dive conditions have been just perfect.

The water has been a bit chilly, 16C on the EX-HMAS Brisbane which is the coldest I can ever remember. The seas have been flat and visibility has hovered between 10-15 metres. The life on the wreck is just astounding.
Great news to see someone has actually been pinged for fishing on the wreck. We’ve some photos passed on to us of another boat fishing over the HMAS BRISBANE which we will forward on to the authorities to deal with. Hopefully the message will get out there that the wreck is a no go no fishing site. It can only house a certain amount of marine life and the excess will spill over to neighbouring reefs, if only it’s given a chance for that to happen.

The 4th year anniversary passing by was a good opportunity for the Federal member for Fisher the Hon. Peter Slipper MP to sound his intentions regarding the HMAS Tobruk. He sees it as the right time to put our hand up to register interest in getting a second wreck to dive on. This would make the Sunshine Coast “THE” place to come to dive. With the colour and life that is accumulating on the HMAS BRISBANE, it would surely rank the area as a must, must do area for all travelling divers.

Paul returned from their overseas diving trip on Palau with all the troops and it sounds like they had a ball. Quality diving, good food and great company all went together to make the trip a real success. He’s off to test the waters of Borneo and Kapalai Resort on Tuesday with the view to be heading there with a dive group next year. Watch this space!!!
