Diving 28-7-19

Post by Kimtown » Sun Jul 28, 2019 10:01 pm

Went for a dive today around Pyramid Rock.

For anyone thinking of going out soon, don't bother. A week of southerlies has made visibility almost zero.

On the plus side, I got a new 5mm open call wetsuit which was an absolute pleasure to dive in. Did not even feel the water. It was actually hot :thumbsup:

Would have been worth dropping a few baits for Gummy sharks.

Wasn't in the boat. Wasn't many fish around either. A few sweep and wrasse and that's about it. Dunno why any gummies would bother hanging around lol

Getting a gummy on spear would be an epic tussle though (if you didn’t stone it)

There would have been gummies nearby 20 to 30m

I'm a free diver. Not a single chance in the world I can get to 20-30m deep. 5m is pushing it lol.
