Dive Number: 167  04/07/11  10.29,  Pt Lonsdale Pier

Wind:   20knot north/north-westerlies

Tide:  Slack Water at 10.14

Conditions:   The area around the platform looked fairly choppy, but around the pier the water was behaving itself. The water clarity was amazing…best i’ve seen it.

Visibilty:   15m

Water Temp: 12c

Bottom Time: 39minutes

Max Depth: 4.8m

Air usage: 70bar/1000psi

SAC: ???? litres/min

Details:     After getting out from the outer legdes, we decided to check out under the pier. It was well worth it with amazing visibility.  Possibly the best local visibility i’ve ever encountered. We found a young dead draughtboard shark that had been knifed in the abdomen and thrown into the sea. A real shame. Not a lot of fishlife around, but a beautiful clear dive, and plenty of lead weight to be found.  

Camera Details:  Tokina  10-17mm , dual SS200 strobes.
