Wind: 20knot Northerlies
Tide: 1hr before 0.15 low tide at the Heads
Conditions: Strong northerlies and a storm brewing. The water was nice and clear, but the current was absolutley ripping through the dive site parallel to shore.
Visibilty: 10m+
Water Temp: 15c
Bottom Time: 56 minutes
Max Depth: 6.6m
Air usage: 105bar/1500psi
SAC: ???? litres/min
Details: A brewing storm loomed, but i felt like getting in a dive, and somewhere different. I check out the Narrows and it looked good, however as soon as i stepped into the water i felt the very strong current which was almost unbearable. I decided to give it a go anyway, and kept low to the ground swimming diagonally and across the current until i reach some nice sized bommies that i could shelter behind. These bommies where nearly straight out from the steps leading down onto the beach and maybe 100m out.
Camera Details: Canon 17-40mm , dual SS200 strobes
