Hillarys Dive

Kasey and I took my tinny out off Hillarys today, in the morning.

The first dive, point KASEYZERO was a bit odd. Lots of really good looking ground just no bloody crays there. Eventually I bagged a few and was back on the boat with Kasey. Unfortunately I lost my gauge, but as I had been gauging them into my bag we just threw the smallest in my bag out and made sure everything was bigger than the smallest one!

The second dive was a little easier on both of us although Kasy found some great ledges where the crays just had nowhere to run. I on the other hand kept finding caves with crays in just irritating positions. I'm learning though. if they look hard, they probably are, so just keep swimming!

I saw some absolutely huge wobbegongs today, first proper sized ones since I got my dive ticket. One came out of his lair as I approached, so I circled over him and he was longer than I was with flippers! The other one was just resting in the mouth of a cave so I got out of his way.

Sorry I couldn't manage a paver shot, we instead went for a sidewalk shot!
