Dive Report - Saturday 11th July

Fairly cool start to the morning with the car temperature reading 9C, overcast and no wind. The boat is checked and loaded with a skipper, DO and 6 divers who head off to Stragglers Crazy Wobbe for the first dive. The sea on the way out was close to a glass off.

Cape Cruiser anchored in 10m and the 6 divers experienced calm seas, water temp at 17C with 5-10m vis. Max depth 12.3m, some surge amongst the ledges and caves and only 1 crayfish. Well done Amos! There was some debate on the Crazy Wobbe location. The chart said it was the right location and yet some divers said, "Don't think this is the spot, or maybe we didn't find it ?"

Off then to Dark Cave, not far to go, and then set up anchor in 7m. The wind picked up slightly with a small swell and some sunlight was breaking through. 4 divers this time braved the cold again and headed in the water. Very similar conditions max depth 8.6m and 7 crays on board this time ! Damo was in another boat not far from us, bagging out on crays and sending Skipper Jeff teasing texts and photos.

Well done to all who were up for the adventure and helping out on the boat.
