Not that J would stop me diving, but with more time on my hands I took the opportunity to get some more diving in. Out with Marc diving in the river along Blackwall Reach on Saturday, which was all good until we jumped in for our 200M surface swim and discovered the tide was going out and so quite a fast current.... next time check the tide tables! So we dropped under as it was easier going and made some good headway, collecting golf balls as I went (ended up with a pocket full). Then surfaced not too far from the buoy we were heading for in the first place which we then took down to the wreck. But of course the cruise back to the entry point was a breeze :)
Then I booked on with Mindarie dive to go out with them sunday morning. The wind was light (offshore too)but some decent sized swells coming through so we couldn't get out to the outer reef. So ended up at Burns Rocks and "the clumps" some small bommies only about 1/2km out from the marina. Fun dives with two guys I'd just met (as you do) but not great viz due to the swell. But we found a new anchor on the first dive, which one of the guys was very keen on, so let him take it up and have it for his boat. And a cool little lined dumpling squid (I think) was something different to spot!
