The usual 4:45am alarm clock wasn’t quite so bad this morning due to the clocks going back an hour. Everyone made it on time for the 7am boat departure at The Haven car park for the second club dive of the weekend. Unfortunately, a stiff southerly put paid to the idea of getting out on the Kiama, so the gear was loaded up on Bob’s boat and off to the Adelaide it was. The price was the usual $80 (which includes the permit).
After a lumpy ride out it (all of 10 min), was nice to get in the water (23’C at the surface, 18’C a depth). The vis wasn’t get (5-10m ish), but there was only a slight swell, most noticeable at the bow. A swam of open circuit divers buzzed through towards the end of dive and before you knew it the 90 min run time was almost up. The morning nearly ended in disaster with both the Haven Beach Cafe and the Cove Cafe being fully booked, so we had to make do with a take away bacon ‘n egg roll.
