Dive Boat Day 4 - Dives 9 to 12


Another early morning, and we arrived at Clam Gardens, a fairly shallow site famed for its giant clams... hence the name!!

We took a nice calm dive, and spotted a few things, and then Jen tugged me to show me a lovely Cuttlefish which I got some absolutely stunning footage of. Can't wait to see what it looks like on a big screen!


Dive 10, was Stevie's Bommie which was named after a guy who loved this site and died in a motorcycle accident.. His mates stuck a memorial plaque down at 25m.. we checked the plaque out and then dived round the pinnacle a few times, see schools of snapper, some leaf fish, and another flame file shell.

Dive 11 after lunch was 2/3. Funny name for a dive site but there you go. A couple of shark, and beautiful trumpet fish... was nice.

Dive 12, night dive time... at Beer Garden... giant turtles come here to sleep but we didn't see a single one.... bugger!! Was a very dissapointing dive, and we saw nothing except a giant white moray swimming through.
