Light winds prevail and look like staying with us for a few days yet. There's been some clear water but we've also had a cold thermocline come through to some of the dive sites which has brought some cold dity water.
While at the HMAS BRISBANE we had 12-15 metre visibility for the first 10-14 metres, once
you went below that depth it was a lot colder and dirtier than expected. That's the beauty of
having this mighty ship here to dive on. Although the water was dirtier and colder the deeper
you went, if you chose to stay shallow, then the dive was a gem.
In spite of the situation there, when divers headed in closer to sites like the Caves, the
conditions were more consistent. Divers experienced warmer water and viz up to 10 metres there
on the weekend.
Stable conditions look like holding for the weekend and the blue water that is with us near
the surface will continue to push its way through the whole water column giving us clearer and
warmer water by the weekend.

Dive HMAS Brisbane Report 15th December - 22nd December 2009
Light winds and clearing water conditions are welcomed after some varying conditions over the past couple of weeks. In spite of the varying conditions over that time, some great diving has been done..
This week and into the weekend looks like being a great one to be out on the water and
better still, under the water.
Visibility has picked up to 20metres+ with water temp up to 24C. I know we need the rain but
while it stays dry the viz gets better so there is an up side to the dry weather during
summer.
Life on the HMAS BRISBANE is still abundant. As the warmer water comes along there is a
'changing of the guard' in respect to the various species found on the wreck. Some of our
residents stay on through all changes of season which is great to see.
It looks like being a busy Festive Season with heaps on interest in dive courses and dive
trips. If this weather keeps up, all of us divers are going to be happy little 'vegimites'.
It would be wise to book well in advance for any dive trip you many be planning over the
Christmas holiday break.
