Late 1770 update

[DougHanning]

Saw your post Ian and thought I better pull my finger out(I think we were next door to you guys?)
After no diving for about a month we decided to take a visiting mate up to 1770 unfortunately it was blowing about 20knts on Fri and about 15knts on Sat and picked up again on Sun.
We went out Fri 23 and Sat 24 out to the reefs and dived on the cetecea on Sun morning. It was a long run out on Friday about 2 1/2 hours. We got the usual suspects trout,macks,jobies,cobia and jacks. We were in a mates 6m polycraft and it handled the conditions okay but not quite like our stabi. The earth leakage on Sat night in the rental we were in would not stay on even with every thing unplugged. That meant no power only lights so no water pump to flush the loos no fridges aaargh. The real estate gave us the keys to another house but only after a bit of persuading, at least we could take a crap and have a shower. Whats with the ice coming down from 20kg to 15kg?
A few pics, small ones are captured from video.
Cheers Doug

AWESOME Last time I was up off 1770 saw a 12 foot tiger swim past the boat. Well done on the fish

[DougHanning]

We had a tiger swim up to us on sunday, pretty stripes :-*

[finding_time]

I dont reckon its the tigers that are the problem it's those bl@@dy whalers that get all fired up and come in real quick with there back arched and there pectorals pointed down :o :o It's usually about then i get out of the water.

Ian ;)

Mate,bloody good shots,i love looking at underwater shots almost seems like you are there,i did i bit of scuba diving up at the swains last year but the gentleman in the grey suits were becoming more frequent and bigger in size as the dive progressed ,so that was enough for me, out of the water and havent been back


cheers hazy

Yes have to agree the whalers can be downright nasty but they are less agro when there is a bunch of guys together. They are real bullies and will harrass a lone diver much more. Poke a few holes in them and they back off.

Keep em coming
