It looks as if it will have to be Saturday 17th November.Elmo has covered it perfectly. And aquatic adventures is really easy to get to just off the freeway. They are new owners so the gear should all be in pretty good nick too.
Post here when you’re diving, if I’m around I might join you.

I have a wedding that day so won’t be able to join you. You’ll want a 7mm! Hopefully the weather gods will be kind. I’ll try remember to check and post here. But Ollie at aquatic adventures will have you sorted.
If you can try dive around high tide. Incoming tide is usally a bit cleaner too.
Ask aquatic adventures about where to get in or anyone in the car park. Weedies are all over but more generally towards the end of the pier. Always keep looking around you never know what can pop up at flinders. Smooth rays are often there. But I’ve also seen southern eagle rays, and a swell shark seems to come and go. There’s a large octopus usually hiding out.
And keep under the pier, as there’s lots of fishing line around which you can get caught in . It’s generally ok to wander off at the end though.
Hi,I’ve just checked the forecast for this Saturday. It is a bit of a sotherky si may not be ideal for flinders. But give it a shot. If it’s too messy, try Portsea pier which is about 20-30 mins away. Usually weedys there too. Just watch the swell there. And I think there is a broken ladder rung making exit a little difficult.
At flinders by the way I normally do a shore exit. But entry off the pier lower landings halfway along.
Hi,Friday looks a bit better so that should work well you! I have to work unfortunately. Let us know how you go!
