Dive Captain: John Lawler, VSAG
Boat: "Raydon", Lloyd Borrett's Haines Hunter V17L, 130HP, Sorrento

And so the keen VSAGers gathered at Sorrento boat ramp ready for another glorious outing. It was a very busy place.

JL's boat "Miles Ahead": John Lawler, Benita McDonough, Dickon Roddie, Andrew Quested, and Michael Ngai.

Lloyd's boat "Raydon": Lloyd Borrett, Cheryl Lees, David Flew, and Christine Reynolds.

The decision was made onshore to head out to the J4 Sub. The Rip was looking a bit marginal, but I decided to give it a go. About half way through I thought better of it, turned around and came back in. New destination - Pope's Eye.

Benita, Dickon and Michael from JL's boat, plus Cheryl and myself, made our way to the outside of Pope's Eye and enjoyed a pleasant dive. A Dive Victoria boat joined us, followed by Monash Uni and then Tom Wende's boat. Divers everywhere.

JL headed off to do a drift dive with Andrew Quested as their first dive, while David Flew and Christine Reynolds dived Pope's Eye.

The two boats met up again half way between Lonsdale Lighthouse and Queenscliff, and we decided to see if we could get onto the Eliza Ramsden. Shipping was favourable, so over to the other side of Port Phillip we motored.

David Flew and I successfully located and shot the wreck. Success at last!

JL and I stayed on the surface while everyone else went in for a dive. I've been told it was, as always, a great dive site, but I don't want to know because I missed out. We were entertained by a seal which the divers didn't see. Karma!

We couldn't get the shot line up. Bugger! David Flew went in for a bounce dive, but couldn't get down against the current. Then Andrew Quested went in from JL's boat and descended. Thankfully he managed to retrieve everything. Happy me!

It was busy back at the boat ramp. There were loud tearing noises as I motored onto the boat trailer. Broken roller, gouged hull, and the Boat Latch hooked up incorrectly. Bloody boats!

Back to The Scuba Doctor's for air fills and a post dive chin wag.
