It was great to finally have a reasonable dive on our famous “Adelaide”. Loved by more every day especially the fish as per enclosed photo and by the divers checking out that famous one of a kind Bow.
We had the 8.30 am mooring time and already upon arrival there were numerous dive boats around going about their buisness. The water was clear enough as per photos although a tad cool. Thanks to Mike Wilson boat sitting, we were able to have a good hour on the wreck and only exited when I got a good dose of the shivers. The wreck is going to take a while to explore and is great for trying out the ole video and photo gear. Lights as well are very usefull for the exploration of the internal areas and the many access holes cut before sinking always give you some light to navigate by.
Putting a temporary line between the boat and the wreck is agood idea and saves a sometimes uncomfortable surface swim. The last diver out removes the line, Mike had the great idea of using the anchor rope. A great time was had by all, we got to meet Grants sister and new BWAC member and got stuck into the snakes on the way back. Coffees at the footy field cafe on the sunny balcony was how our day ended before our drive home.
An Update.
Mike Wilson was doing the boat sitting (Thanks again) and I don,t think the lovely lady with Grant was his sister.
Paul.
Doh! Right you are – Mike Wilson was boat sitter, not Mike Foster.
Got my Mike’s mixed up
Have updated it.
