Dive Number: 500 18/09/2013 White Wall
Conditions: ?
Visibilty: 10m
Water Temp: ??c
Bottom Time:50minutes
Max Depth: 20m
Details: I’ve be concentrating my search for new dive sites around the Ant Spit area of 13th Beach lately. This was another site down that way that sounded up as a sharp wall from 20-15m. The wall was covered in a lot of white animal life, like corals and ascidians. Not a bad site, but more of a wall with a flat top and a small overhang on one side, with not a great deal of gnarling going on. Might be worth another visit one day.

Dive Number: 499 17/09/2013 Ant Caves
Conditions: ?
Visibilty: 10m
Water Temp: ??c
Bottom Time:50minutes
Max Depth: 20m
Details: I’d sounded up some great looking structure out of Ant Spit that I wanted to check out. Returning to the area with Phil, we found an amazing site with lots of overhangs, caverns and caves. Its now been dubbed Ant Caves and is one of the better dive sites off Barwon Heads. A few Port Jackson Sharks around and just really interesting structure.

Dive Number: 497 14/09/2013 The Olives, Anglesea
Conditions: ?
Visibilty: 8m
Water Temp: ??c
Bottom Time: 30minutes
Max Depth: 9m
Details: After the shocking vis out at the 20m mark after the first dive we debated about whether to do a second dive. It seemed a waste not to and we did a shallow dive off The Olives (part of the Point Addis Marine National Park). The Olives reef is about 1km or so offshore but it comes right up to the surface. This was a really cool dive, the vis was much better here and the reef was honeycombed out forming lots of caves and swimthroughs. It was a short dive due to the lack of air, but I really want to get back to dive this place.

Dive Number: 496 14/09/2013 Point Addis
Conditions: ?
Visibilty: 1m
Water Temp: ??c
Bottom Time: 40minutes
Max Depth: 20m
Details: We launched the inflatable from Point Roadknight and headed out towards the Point Addis Marine National Park to see what sounded up. We could find anything that interesting out deep, but just decided to jump in to see what was around. The visibility was terrible! Why, I have no idea, but it was near black at 20m and a but scary. After poking around we started to ascend, only to be swooped by a Seal on the safety stop. Chris did a little wee in the drysuit…
