This was one of those dives where it does not go to
plan. The plan was to locate the cave and follow the wall around
to the wall, then follow the wall to where it turns at ninety degrees.
On the sandy area here we were to place a 9lb weight and secure a safety
sausage to it so that we could get a good GPS of the wall. After
anchoring we found the cave OK, then proceeded south following the
diminishing wall. We swam across kelp, then came to another
smaller wall. We then headed northish over sand areas in between
rocky outcrops, none of which looked familiar. We were doing this
dive on our twins - the left over gas from our first dive on the
Tuggerah. As my air dropped and we weren't in any area that we
knew I became a bit more anxious. A bit more looking around and we
elected to surface to find the boat. On the surface we were a good
distance south of the boat and had to surface swim it back.
With twins this is hard going.
We did find that to the south, closer to shore from the
cave there are some interesting formations that would be worth exploring
one day.
