Dive HMAS Brisbane Report 13th - 20th May 2009 |
Dive HMAS Brisbane Report update 13th - 20th May 2009
The clear water is back, finally. Never can I remember a period of such prolonged dirty water and big swells as what we have just experienced.
On the weekend, divers reported swimming along one side of the HMAS BRISBANE and watching a number of Eagle rays swimming off to the other side of the ship. This means that the visibility had to be in the vicinity of 20 metres. Water temp is on 23C.
Divers saw the huge Queensland Grouper again, the Guitar Shark, a Leopard Shark, Rays, Tuna, and all of the regular smaller species that adorn the wreck.
We also dived Mudjimba Island and were happy to see 5 metres visibility there. So slowly, slowly we are getting back to normal over all of the dive territory.
The sea conditions look like they will be excellent for the weekend to dive HMAS Brisbane, by current predictions. We’ll finally be able to get the night dive happening this Saturday night and another next Saturday as well, we hope. Let’s hope the weather stays settled for a while now so we can get wet again. We’ve had more than our share of lousy weather.
Don’t forget there’s always a chance to see crystal clear water while in Tonga with Kelly, snorkeling with the whales, plus doing some great scuba diving on their reefs as well.
Thanks to Wazza for taking the group up to Lady Musgrave aboard Venus II. Sounds like the whole gang had some great diving and had fantastic encounters with Manta Rays. The next trip on Venus II is 27, 28, 29th June.
There’s also a live-a-board trip coming up on Big Cat Reality 21-23rd August, diving Moreton Island, Flinders and surrounding reefs.
Keep breathing, it’s important!!
