Dive HMAS Brisbane Dive Report 24th - 31st March 2010

Well it’s done it again. The HMAS BRISBANE HAS TURNED ON SOME GREAT DIVING.

After all the bad weather we’ve had, rain and rough seas and we head out to the HMAS BRISBANE yesterday and find flat calm seas and 12-15 metres viz once you got under the 5-6 metres of dirty water on top. The ship was ‘going off’. There was bait fish everywhere and a number of other species (that will remain nameless), to be seen. Divers returned extremely happy with the dives.

Certainly having the MID SHIP MOORING is a winner. It makes for a nice easy dive towards the stern on one dive and the bow on the second and you’ve covered the whole ship without feeling like you’ve run a marathon.

Diving again today on the HMAS BRISBANE was great. Viz was between 8-10 metres but still heaps of life around the big ship.
The ship is in good shape after the big swells and confirms once again that the planning and research that went into the whole project of placing the ship on the bottom, was done properly and made the project a complete success.

We had some open water students diving The caves today also and they had 8-10 metres viz there. So the effects of the bad weather have moved on already.

It just shows you, you’ve got to get out there and have a look. The ones who are sitting at home and guessing, are missing out.
