Divemaster: John Lawler, VSAG Boat: "Miles Ahead", John Lawler's 6.5m 175HP, Sorrento We arrived at the Portsea back beach and John took us to a nice reef area where we thought we might find some crays. Mick decided to sit the dive out, so John Lawler, John Merlo, Bridey and myself geared up and went in. Visibility wasn't great, about 5 metres. As we stared out we went around a ledge and I spotted two cray feelers poking out from under it. Because of the position I was going to have to try reaching from the top under the ledge and grabbing the cray. In other words I was only going to get one go at this. And I missed! John Merlo spotted another one deep in a hole but was unable to get it. Then as we hunted around, John Merlo showed up with one in his hand that he'd found somewhere else. But it was too small. John Lawler departed for the surface, and later the rest of us headed up as well. Conditions were still very calm as we headed back inside the heads and on to Sorrento. Once we had retieved the boat and unloaded our gear, some of us headed back to The Scuba Doctor for air fills and a chat.
