Dive HMAS Brisbane Dive Report 4th January - 11th January 2010

Happy New Year!!!!

Christmas and New Year celebrations take a lot out of us all. There’s so much to celebrate at this time of the year and so many to celebrate it with.

We’ve seen a huge number of divers celebrating by going for a dive. We have certainly been extremely busy over the holiday period.
Conditions have varied once again. We’ve had flat seas and not so flat seas, we’ve had good viz and poor viz with thermoclines bringing that colder dirtier water in, thankfully now, that has all gone and there was 20 metre viz out on the HMAS BRISBANE yesterday with 24C water temp. The Gneering Shoals was serving up 15metre viz and 24C also.

Interesting and varying life adds another dimension to the wreck dive. Local divers and lovers of nudibranchs, Gary Cobb and David Mullins joined us out on the HMAS BRISBANE on Saturday and were excited to find heaps of nudibranchs on the ship but in particular, they found a Phyllodesmium poindimiei which they hadn’t seen in the area before. Check out www.nudibranch.com.au That’s what makes diving so great, if you take the time to look, you will always find something new and interesting on every dive.

Dive Safe in 2010,
