Took both Cameron and Brendan diving for the first time since South West Rocks a year ago. For the future, remember diving is a day-long activity. We left Scuba Warehouse around 12pm, Andrew's at 1pm and were in the water around 2pm. Out at 3pm and back to the dive shop (via Andrew's to pick up Alexander and Angus) at 4.20pm (they close at 4). Saw plenty of yellowtail, bullseyes, wrasse, scalyfin and a few big groper, plus a couple of cuttlefish and three wobbegongs. Single stingray at the end.

Dry suit, ~28lbs weight (2 belts), 82, camera, no gloves. With more weight I was warmer, but not drier. There must be a leak.
