Divemaster: Alan Storen, VSAG With no boats available the scheduled boat dive day for VSAG became a shore dive at Blairgowrie Pier. I arrived and parked near the beach huts and then went looking for the others. I found Alan Storen, Bridey Leggatt, Tim Christian and Greg Richards all in the top car park. With everyone present it was time to gear up and head out onto the pier. Once we were all in the water we headed off at a delightfully leisurely pace under the pier. As usual there were plenty of interesting things to see. There seemed to be more crabs, seahorses and nudis about than usual. Or maybe I'm just getting better at noticing them. Once we reached the end of the first section of the pier I started to systemactically work each of the pylons on the outer part of the pier. I was hoping to spot the angler fish, but no such luck. So instead I just settled for looking at the seahorses, nudis etc. Maybe it's a seasonal thing, but the seahorses I've been seeing on recent pier dives seem much bigger than usual. I was taking so much time looking at certain spots that I found the others were quite some distance away. As I headed off to look for them I found Greg heading back. Then I met up with Alan and Bridey and we started the return journey. After climbing out of the water I headed back to the car to change. Then others passed Ken and Takia heading out for a dive. I headed back to The Scuba Doctor for an air fill, and both Alan and Tim joined me there. We popped around the corned for lunch at the Whitecliffs Cafe. They really know how to make a great steak sandwich there. On arrival back at The Scuba Doctor, I was happy just to settle in on the couch and catch up with some of the others passing through for a while before eventually heading homewards.
