Rudy was not available today, so the plan was for Robert to try out his new Tanks, unfortunately, he left his prescription mask in Perth, so plan-B was put into action. With my new fuel gauge and GPS fitted, Brian came a long for a fantastic pair of Dives.

Seas were fairly flat and high tide at 8:04 we decided the first dive was Barren's Hut, this is an amazing place, caves and swim throughs, plenty of life, with vis around 25m again and a resident PJ made for a great 45 minutes (Great stuff this Nitrox)

2nd Dive was to go somewhere new, during the surface interval I entered the co-ordinates for Osborne shoals into the GPS, had a cup-a-soup and we headed out. We dropped anchor at the GPS mark and started to gear up, looking around we saw some Dolphins.

I have heard this place was pretty good, and yep it certainly is. We headed north from our anchor mark over some fairly uninteresting rock and kelp when we came to a drop off, down to 18m and we headed east along a wall, fantastic sponges and soft corals as well as thousands of fish, this really is a good spot. We headed around the shoals ending up south of the boat, this took around 50 mins to go this far, and I guess we only covered about 25% of the shoals, (Note: must do this again)
