Its been raining all week up here in Brissy. We are looking at winds of up to 30 knots and swells of over 5 m over the weekend.

I'll probably be spending the weekend dry unfortunately

I'm assisting on an OW course on Tuesday though so my gear wont be dry for too long

after the dive we (hubby buddy Ron, hubby and Neets who drove down for a nag & coffee) hit a cafe before we visted LeisureCoastDives new dive shop - it will be one very sweet dive shop when they have finished setting it up :multi:

Two great dives here today. Tons of fish, sea snakes, big cods and usual suspects. Very cool frogfish on dive one. Dive one was a site we don't dive very often so it was very cool to do something a little different. Cold current came in during the first dive, but dive two was definitely warmer. Temps are between 25-26C ish. Surface and sea conditions were beautiful.

Out again tomorrow
