Dive Managers, Dive Leaders and Brass appendages.
Tropicat picked us up from Mosman Wharf at 10.30am.
We had a full boat of top grade divers aboard for this exploration dive to unchartered waters;Our mission should we choose to accept it was to dive the Artificial Reef followed by Magic Point.
The team consisted of;
Alex Joint Dive Manager and Dive Leader (dive 1)
Dorota Joint Dive Manager and Dive Leader (dive 2)
Jonathan Skippers point of contact
Owen Poser and looking good in his new drysuit
Andrew A man to be admired
Me Feeling awful
Jules A little known guest diver on a JJ rebreather
Christian A Red Sea diving instructor who has come to check out the best dive sites in the world.(Sadly the Red Sea will never be the same again to him after this experience.)
All went well with this well-rehearsed group of team members until we got in the water, Andrew and Owen were wise and didnt bother with the first dive, Dorota and Jonathan dived in and around the Artificial Reef the other four divers discovered the joys of diving a flat sandy bottom in a current with rubbish viz. Totally awesome!!
Surface interval and a leisurely cruise over to Magic Point left us eager for more top diving.This time Andrew and Owen joined in and I bailed out on this one.
Owen got his new drysuit wet and still managed to look good and Andrew donned his 3mm shortly before diving in the 14 degrees water. GO ANDREW!!
All went well and was rounded off with a well-deserved debrief in the Mosman Rowers.
A GREAT TEAM EFFORT!
