Dive HMAS Brisbane Dive Report 3rd March - 10th March 2010

Last Week
In spite of wind, rain and Tsunami warnings, there is still some diving going on. Wasn't last Tuesday just a 'cracker ' of a day?

Good dive conditions as well. (15 metres viz) We had cancelled dives late last week due to the swell but were looking forward to getting out on the water on Sunday morning. What could you do? After the tragic earthquake and the threat of a huge Tsunami, the only responsible decision was to cancel the dive. These things happen unfortunately but we can be thankful for the fact that we don't have to deal with the tragedy that faces Chile; all we had to deal with was the disappointment of not going for a dive when the conditions looked good. That is such a small price to pay in comparison. Thank you for the understanding of all of our customers except one who was not happy with the decision. I'll say no more on that one.

Yesterday (1.03.10)
The good news is that we did get out for a dive on the HMAS BRISBANE yesterday and divers reported 15-20 metres visibility. With only 1 metre of sea we had a boat load of very happy divers after completing 2 great dives with unreal visibility. On their second dive the surface couple of metres clouded over but once you descended through that, it opened up to 20 metre viz again.

This week: Doesn't look like we'll be out until the weekend again now. Most likely a rainy weekend but it looks like the sea conditions will ease right down and give us a chance to get out diving once again.
