Saturday 9th October 2021 Today was a last minute decision to dive as I got a call last night asking to make up numbers on a boat. I decided therefore not to take the RED Camera and just take a Go Pro. I had heard the visibility was also down and it was easier than rushing [...]
What is a PFO? PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale) is a flap that remains open in one's heart since childbirth. The flap permits blood to flow from one side of the heart to the other. Most people will never know they have a PFO. PFO's are not tested for without reason. So for those of us that [...]
Saturday 16th January, 2021 January isn't disappointing with epic conditions continuing in South East Queensland. The South Easterly winds have brought in great visibility. We completed a long dive at Manta Bommie, Stradbroke Island today with 30 metres visibility. There was a medium current to begin with which calmed down nearer the end of our dive. [...]
Wednesday 6th January We headed over to Stradbroke for the day. The seas were flat on top, with minimal swell and a South Easterly wind bringing blue water in. The water temperature was 26 degrees celsius. We went to Manta Bommie for both dives and Nick and I decided to do one long dive on Sidemount. [...]
Sat 2nd January It was a rough beach launch and lumpy on top of the water. We headed out to Flat Rock and Turtle Cave where the other boats had opted to dive to check out the conditions. It was blue and nice visibility, there was a decent current at Turtle Cave and the only promising [...]
Sunday 22nd November Dive 1 After a week of South Easterly winds, we were hoping for blue water at Stradbroke Island. We headed out to attempt the blue water drift again and find the large school of migrating Dusky sharks. We dropped in at Turtle cave and there was a mild current. Unfortunately, the winds had [...]
Sunday 18th October 2020 Nick and Kev had seen a school of Dusky sharks yesterday at Blue corner, along with one that had been entangled badly in rope. As we had a small group I suggested that we do a drift from Turtle cave around to Blue corner and out wide into the blue so everyone [...]
26th - 29th January (Australia day weekend) 2017 I had planned to dive two of the four days, but after seeing how absolutely perfect the conditions were for diving at Manta Bommie, there was no doubt in my mind I would be foolish to pass up the opportunity to film all four days. Stradbroke did not [...]
New Years Eve 2016 / 2nd January 2017 It may be hot on the surface but something is up with the water at the moment! Its summer and the water here is a chilly nineteen degrees! Which is unusual for this time of year. Wearing a drysuit is a pain because you're roasting like a chicken on [...]
Sunday 22nd August 2016 Today we headed out from Caloundra on Bruce's boat to dive the USS Pike. A wreck that was once a World War Two landing craft for soldiers, and due to its depth and isolation had only been dived by six divers that we knew of before. I was excited to be one [...]
