What fantastic diving weather we’ve had.
The seas couldn’t be any calmer and the water has been just brilliant with 20 metres plus viz on the HMAS BRISBANE and 15 metres viz on the Gneerings and at Mudjimba Island. Water temp is on 20C.
Not really winter temps. Once again, divers have continued to be blown away by the marine life on the HMAS BRISBANE and even the life on the Gneerings has seen an improvement. A grey nurse shark was sighted on the Gneerings again which is always a buzz. Conditions look like holding all week with many be a bit of northerly puffing up on Sunday.
If you haven’t ventured out over the winter, it may be advisable to get out soon before these great conditions change.
Paul and the 15 other divers are due back from Borneo tomorrow. Can’t wait to hear the reports on diving Sipadan.
Check the trips page for details on Truk and Tonga next year. Still working on details for the 3rd O/S trip next year.

Dive HMAS Brisbane Report 26th August - 2nd September 2010
Some gentle northerly current and wind managed to bring in a little bit of dirtier water on Sunday with viz dropping to 12 metres on the HMAS BRISBANE.
However before that we had 20+ metres viz. With the Southwesterlies and westerlies we’ve had these past couple of days, it should clear up nicely for the rest of the week and the weekend.
The Gneerings and Mudjimba Island had a good 15 metres viz both Saturday and Sunday last.
Our divers sighted a Grey Nurse at Fairyland at the Inner Gneerings which was a buzz for all. Water temp is holding at 19C in most areas with a little fluctuation up to 20C and down to 18C depending on ocean currents.
Dive conditions are looking great for the weekend with virtually no swell at all and only light southwesterlies.

Dive HMAS BRISBANE with Sunreef.
This fully restored 11'6" marine plywood ski was originally built in 1970.
It was modelled after the famous Prot-Craft 1948 surf ski..It has been recently restored by a master craftsman and along with the silky oak paddle is for sale.
It is ready for the water or as a collecter's item and would serve either roll very well.
This ski was used to reach local reefs such as the Gneering Shoals, Mudjimba Island, Cook Island and Palm Beach and Kirra Reefs etc. for free diving and a little spearfishing.
