Hydro testing this weekend! Got a cylinder that's out of date and want to bring it back into service?

Bring it along on Friday (shop open from 10:00), to the dive dinner on Friday night or Saturday morning and I'll have it back to you Sunday if there are no issues with it.

Service includes the valve, an often neglected aspect. A valve service ensures that they open and close easily so you don't need to wrench it on every dive.

Murky water can be lovely. It's not everyone's cup of tea though and sometimes the best you can do is have a birthday party instead. Happy birthday Andrea Viola Boss!

A good turn out, several productive dive partner conversations and cake! An excellent morning.

The Women's dive day is now scheduled for the 31st, signups are here: https://divecoachingaustralia.rezdy.com/651848/womens-dive-day

The next social event is the monthly dive dinner: 18:00 at the Bargara Lakes Tavern on the 6th of September.

New shipment of SMBs, reels and cylinder holders from Cressi arrived this afternoon. We've got an assortment of colours for keeping you safe in the water!

For those looking for a bit of gear care, we've got cylinder holders (to keep them from rolling around the back of your car), BCD washout hoses (which make getting water into your BCD and SMB much easier) and cleaning solution in stock.

A lot of what makes our local diving conditions so wonderful is the green zones along our coast. These form reservoirs for fish to grow, making for excellent diving. The areas around green zones also consistently show improved fishing too, as long as people respect the green zones. Unfortunately, if people fish the green zones, they aren't able to provide the benefits.

With the recent changes in zoning, there seem to be a lot of people who're a bit confused as to what is and what is not a green zone. We're seeing way too many (i.e. more than zero) people fishing off Barolin Rocks, for instance.

Fortunately, Marine Parks have a couple of great apps to assist with identifying green zones. There's also PDF maps. Chartplotters updated after the 21st of May should also have the latest zone information.

So, if you're into fishing, please take the time to double check the new zones and stay clear of them.

Excellent dive yesterday with Adriana and Steve on the south side of Barolin Rocks. So much beauty right on our doorstep! The calmer ocean in winter really opens up the visibility.

On the chillier side, it's definitely time for thicker wetsuits and dry suits. Steve and I were both in 5mm and Adriana was sporting a 7mm.

Time: 73 minutes
Depth: 6.6 metres
Temperature: 18º
