BHP Jetty night dive

Wednesday 23 September 2020

Last Wednesday night with nice conditions we took the club dive to the old BHP jetty at Naval Base. With 7 of use keen for a splash I gave my brief then we trekked down the sand to the water.

Under the water the viz looked awesome and as soon as we dropped down a curious port jackson came over to say hello. On the way up the jetty we swam into a few schools of blowies, herring and skippy. About half way we found a big garfish plenty of squids and big blue manner crabs. After 30mins we started to make our way back then we bumped into a massive cuttlefish and at least 10 seahorses hooked onto a rope. 

After spotting another 30 odd seahorses we were back at the entry so got out of the water as it was starting to get a little chilly, then headed back to the cars.
