5/21/2008 - Double Dusk Dive at the Seaway, Gold Coast, Australia
After 4 months dive free, it was the most glorious feeling to be back in the water. I was dying to get back to the world with only bubbles, buddies, fish, critters and currents for company.
I met up with Pete and Shona from the fantastic Devocean Dive (www.devoceandive.com) team and joined three students and a recently ticketed diver for a poopipe potter.
Vis was around 10-15m depending on where in the seaway I was. We jumped in around 30 mins before high tide and worked out way around 150m north before flying back down with the current. Highlights of the first dive was seeing my first seaway Manta. I was fighting the current to keep it in view, and there 5m above it was just hanging, effortlessly. Fantastic!!! Also, it was Lion Fish city! Deep reds, browns and blacks and a sweet little baby lion fish. Thirdly, as soon as I descended I was face to face with a large school or cornet fish.
Right at sunset, we went down again for a quick skills test dive for the students. The water was a glorious amber and I positioned myself around 12m down with a light touch of current and just relaxed. It was glorious, just glorious.
All up, I was in the water for almost 2 hours and had a wonderful time, reigniting my passion for the dive site.
