Details: A new site down near Ant Spit featuring large chasms in the reef creating large ‘rooms’. Not a bad site, but the less than Ideal conditions detracted from it. There were extraordinary numbers of comb jellies in the water column near the surface.

Visibilty: 10m

Bottom Time: 50minutes
Max Depth: 12m
Details: This was a site around the mouth of the Barwon River, so you need a nice clean day around high tide to dive this area. It was really nice have large chunks of reef scattered everywhere and making anchoring really difficult. Although shallow, the profile went from about 12m to 3m, so there was some great structure and lots of different fish species. the day was gloomy though so I look forward to going back here.

Details: I’ve been doing a lot of 20m+ dives lately, so doing a 10-12m dive was a nice change. The algae and kelp communities are much more lush in this depth and I really enjoyed this dive. The day was dark and overcast though so not the best photography conditions. Only after reviewing the photos did I notice that a Western Clingfish was on a sponge on this dive. Damn…I would love to photograph this critter!
