In what looked on the net to be very rough conditions
Wayne and I headed out from Foreshore Rd to see where we could dive.
We thought Whale Watch Platform was a possibility but when we got
around the corner at Kurnell it looked really rough. Then over to
Bypass reef. It was calmer here but every so often a very large
wave would come through. We decided against that site. So we headed back
into Botany Bay. Henry head looked reasonable so we dropped anchor.
We could see from the surface that the viz looked good. And at the
bottom it was good. At least 15m maybe 20m. Water
temperature was also a very acceptable 20C so with my dry suit and hood
I was very comfy indeed.
We secured the anchor and headed south towards large
rocks and sponge gardens. There were large schools of old wives
and many other fish around the biggest rock formations, There are
gaps here that looked large enough to swim through but we only swam
along a deep crevice between 2 large rocks. Towards the end of the
dive we came across a pair of mourning cuttle. They are so cute to
watch.
