Dive Captain: Lloyd Borrett, VSAG Boat: "Raydon", Lloyd Borrett's Haines Hunter V17L, 130HP, Sorrento. Who "Miles Ahead": John Lawler, Benita McDonough, Ian Smith, Denise Ridgway, and Christine Reynolds. "Raydon": Lloyd Borrett (Dive Captain), Cheryl Lees, Ian Scholey and guest diver Andrew Gabriel. In the beginning... With a weather forecast and conditions suggesting we shouldn't go outside, we opted for a day of diving inside The Heads. So eight VSAGers, together with a guest diver Andrew Gabriel gathered at the Sorrento Boat Ramp top trailer parking area and loaded the gear onto the two dive boats. With five divers on his boat, John Lawler was astonished at just how much "stuff" accumulated in every possible hidey hole aboard "Signature One". Safety briefings completed, we headed down to the ramp, launched and headed over toward Queenscliff. TORPEDO REEF We located Torpedo Reef and setup for some nice drift dives. Cheryl and Ian rolled in first from "Raydon". As always, the reef structure in this area is very interesting and the current wasn’t that strong so divers were able to dig in the reef hooks from time to time and take a leisurely look around. Once Cheryl and Ian were back on board, Andrew and I started our dive. It’s interesting drift dives like this that make diving in Melbourne so special. By the time we were back aboard "Raydon" the wind had picked up a bit.
