| Divemaster: Neil Richardson Boat: "Midnight Rambler", Tom Wende, OzDive & Boat Charters 1st dive on the inaugural dive day of the Bass Strait Aquatic Club. I met up with Andy Lowther, Neil Richardson, Dave Kelly and Adi Costello at Portsea. Dave had bought along a 5 litre pony cylinder with EAN54 for me courtesy of Peter Fear at The Scuba Doctor. It was a very, very cold morning with people reporting temperatures of 5 degrees and 2 degrees. I decided to wear a jacket and beanie over my wet suit for the journey out to the Ship's Graveyard and back. It was a long haul out to the dive site, but we couldn't have asked for better conditions. Very calm with just a slight swell rolling through and another clear winter day. Neil and Andy buddied up and went down first. If necessary they would move the shot line onto the wreck for us. They were planning a deco dive. About 10 minutes later, Adi, Dave and myself headed down. Our dive plan was for no deco, which would only give us about 8 minutes of bottom time. Dave wasn't settling into the dive well, so I made sure I stuck close to him as we arrived at the bow and worked our way along the port side to the stern. Adi went down the starboard side and met back up with us at the stern. She was focusing on getting some pics with her camera. There were a lot of fish about. We headed from the stern back to the bow down the starboard side. The outer side of the barge was mover up to half a metre in and out with the swell. With 2 minutes of no deco time left, I headed to the shot line with Dave, ticked my name off the slate that Andy had put there and started the ascent. Soon afterwards Adi, Neil and Andy joined us on the ascent. I did a 2 minute deep stop at 20 metres, another minute or so at 12 metres, and 3 minutes at 6 to 3 metres before surfacing. It was a pleasant trip back in and we all met up with Tom Wende for refreshments at the Cafe between dives. Adi was able to show us some of the great pics and video she had managed to capture with her compact digital camera. |
