The second shore dive of the weekend was in the slightly more picturesque Camp Cove. Situated just inside of South Head, Camp Cove has a lovely sandy beach and a free car park. The beautiful sunny weather made it a tad popular, but finally everyone made it through the traffic and found a spot to park. As Duncan, Michelle and Ben set off for the dive, Stuart and family provided the shore cover.
The dive plan was simple – head out until we hit a rocky reef at ~5m turn right, then right again when we got to the rocky headland. What could go wrong?! After what felt like 10 min of swimming over sand at 2m it was time to up periscopes and get a slightly better bearing. Before you could say ‘look at that cuttlefish’ we were on the reef. There was plenty to see hiding in the nooks and crannies, and soon we had done the loop and were walking up the beach taking in the spectacular views of the the setting and city skyline.
Thanks to Andrea for the photos.
