Dive Captain: Lloyd Borrett, VSAG Boat: "Raydon", Lloyd Borrett's Haines Hunter V17L, 130HP, Sorrento After a luncheon on the water we decided to go and get some scallops. John Lawler headed out to GPS marks he had from Mick Jeacle near the spoil grounds. They went in to check it out. We waited to see what the report would be, and headed over to check out the seals and birdlife on the nearby pile. The divers were soon back above water suggesting we give the site a miss. We headed over to our usual scallop drift area out from Rye and towards White Cliffs. Conditions were now absolutely magnificent. It just doesn't get any better than this out on Port Phillip. JL and Trevor started to get ready on "Miles Ahead". Tony, Stephen and I geared up on "Raydon". Unfortunately JL's catch bag and new scallop lift bag setup were lost over the side as they prepared to dive, so JL ended up going down to look for it. His search for it was unsuccessful. Time to gather some scallops. There are times when the sea floor is carpeted with scallops, but this wasn't one of them. However, we had a nice long dive collecting what we found. On surfacing with our bag limits of scallops in possession, we decided to head back to Elsa's Reef to use up the remainder of our air. JL stayed in the scallop area and put in the rest of his divers for their scallop drift.
