25/5/2006 - 50 and counting...
Well I did my 50th dive on the weekend and my 30th for the year...and to think, this time last year I think I'd done about 12 dives!!! There is no way I'd have predicted I'd have done my Cav/Sink and clocked up this many dives, after being so inactive after my OW course. Anyway, it was a fairly uneventful dive with club, we headed out to the wreck of the Norma, off Pt Adelaide. I think after it originally sank, another boat ran into it so it was deemed a shipping hazard and blown to unrecognisable bits. It lies in 12-15m of water, and often has lots of wobbegongs, but I think the onset of cooler water has sent them off elsewhere as we didn't find any. I spent a lot of the dive looking for them to no avail. The vis wasn't that good (<5m) and there wasn't too much to see. One of the highlights of a blue & yellow cowfish who was very camera-shy and refused to pose for my buddy's camera. It was a stunning day to be out on the water - even though it was cool the sun was out and the ocean was flat. Can't complain!
