Divemaster: Alan Storen, VSAG Boat: "Miles Ahead", John Lawler's 6.5m 175HP, Sorrento Benita and I met up with John Lawler and Alan Storen at Sorrento Boat Ramp. Soon after, Mick Jeacle and Peter Briggs arrived with their boats. Rob Kirk, Trevor Williams et al all arrived. Benita and I were teamed up with John and Rob in John's boat, so we started to load the gear. Conditions were marvelous. The three boats motored out of the heads to the dive site together. Benita and Rob buddied up for the first dive. Then John and I buddied up for the second dive. Conditions were great. We followed the shot line down onto the J2 Submarine. John showed me inside a rear entrace. Then we proceeded on the outside, towards the bow, checking out the break in the submarine along the way. Once at the bow we headed back towards the conning tower. The amount and variety of fish about was great. Visibility was about 7m to 10m, so I got a good look at the colours of the growth everywhere on the submarine structure. By the time we reached the conning tower I was down to 100 bar and signalled to John that it was time to start the ascent. We stopped at 5m and hung around for the required deco time. It was a most delightful dive. Once everyone was back up and aboard the three boats, we headed back inside the head and stopped at Point Nepean to have our lunch. Then we headed off for the second dive.
