I reckon today was a dusky seen near the surface. News I watched showed scuba divers going in despite signs saying the beach was closed!

Yes I was there that day and there were virtually no swimmers in the water but the sign had zero affect on the divers.
Now, while I think closing the beach was a complete and total over-reaction, I'm not sure it was a good idea to still take the OW students diving. Surely novice divers have enough to worry about without potentially adding to their stress levels.
