Another great weekend aboard the Ocean Trek run out of Huskinson.
Organised by Bec, who sadly could not dive after being felled by a heavy cold, the five remaining divers were spoilt by some superb dive sites in the bay.
After a shaky start with some dry suit and kit problems (time for a little expenditure on kit service guys?) we started with two dives around Bowen Island to the South before the wind swung around and the diving moved across to the Northern Head of the bay.

The third dive was superb with great viz and the classic rocky underwater terrain Jervis Bay is known for. Cuttlefish, Eastern Blue Devils, Wobbies and some bull rays all throwing them selves at us during each 40 minute dive.
The boat crew were their usual efficient and jolly selves. The food as usual was plentiful. All washed down enthusiastically with a few recreational glasses of ale and wine of an evening…
Another positive was that we met another two gorups of divers from Canberra and Sydney. who were good company. The two couples from Sydney expressed and interest in meeting more people from the SSAC, so if you see some unfamiliar faces at Moretons in the coming weeks please make them welcome.
The weekend was capped off by some great weather and a good time was had by all (except Bec – hope you are feeling a bit better). 🙂
