Sydney Boat Dives

Monday, October 31st, 2011

 

We are very excited about our new Boat dive Schedule. Every second Saturday we will be cruising the coast line of Sydney, for two fantastic Scuba dive’s. We have lots of dive spots to choose from this is some info about one area that we frequent… “The Head’s” has some of Sydney’s best boat diving sites. All along the headlands from the open ocean to the harbour can be dived. There are about 20 different dive sites including Colours Reef, The Gap, Sponge Gardens, Pollys Point, Waterfall and Quarantine Station. These reefs consist of beautiful walls and giant boulders that play home to some of Sydney’s finest diving. Bream, sweep and yellowtail are most common of the schooling fish. The inner area of the heads is particularly good for Weedy Sea Dragons and the rarer Red Indianfish. Giant Sting Rays and Eagle Rays also cruise by occasionally in search of their next feed.

A Team of GUE divers consisting of Jarrod Jablonski, Casey McKinlay, Liam Allen, Richard Lundgren, Kirill Egorov & JP Bresser have successfully executed a project, diving the wreck of the USS Atlanta @ Guadalcanal, Solomon Island. The Atlanta rests at 130 meters depth and has a rich history. Goal of the team is to document and explore this monument of the Pacific war. A documentary about the project will be released later this year.

On the 9th of August we set of to once again to visit the Idyllic Vava’u Archipelago, which is the the northernmost group of islands in the Kingdom of Tonga. And WOW!!! What a great trip…. There are many reasons to visit this lovely Island of Tonga. Long expanses of golden beaches, crystal clear waters, dramatic coastal scenery and volcanic peaks and a warm lifestyle that makes the other pacific islands look hectic in comparison to the warm and welcoming nature of the Tongan people. But the Humpback Whales are the biggest draw-card and we were lucky enough to enjoy many hours of whales swims with adult and juveniles that migrate to the Tongan waters yearly to court, mate and calf.

On Friday the 23rdApril,  11 excited divers hit the road to drive down to Montague Island in Narooma for 3days worth of diving with the seals. Everyone was up early the following morning getting gear together ready for an 8am departure on our boat “DALLAS”.  Our skipper martin told us stories about the seals on the way out which made everyone even more keen to get into the water. As we pulled up to the island the view was amazing.. 300 or more seals were on the rocks or playing in the water!! We geared up very quickly and jumped in to begin our dive. I think everyone would agree with me that diving amongst seals is absolutely awesome.. they were go graceful and fast underwater, doing twists and turns and checking out all the divers! The more we all did spins the more excited the seals became!! We had another 5 dives with the seals after that dive, each dive was different as we would begin our dive with the seals then go off to explore other sections of the island and then come back to the seals for our safety stops. Other marine life that was spotted included a very friendly bull ray, eels, cuttle fish AND a grey nurse shark!!!! :D Many diving stories were shared over a BBQ on the Saturday night and I think a great weekend was had by all.. :D
