Bass & Flinders Point

Windy Point was the original destination but the surf was up and it was way too rough to attempt it. We went around to Oak Park and there was a surf competition on and the water was full of surfers. This obviously made things less than optimal so we headed to Bass & Flinders Point.

First dive, I took Lisa and Andrew who were using their equipment for the first time. I took another two gentlemen who had just met each other and my buddy for the day was Camilla.
Kane gave the dive briefing and we headed in for our first dive

The dive was fairly interesting and I do think this is a great little dive site if you don't set your expectations too high. It never gets deeper than 6 meters so this can disappoint the gauge watchers.
There are some interesting areas with a swim through near the end of the reef. We called this dive the Transgender Groper dive. We saw a huge brown groper that was just starting to turn blue. It was in the process of changing from a female to a male. I accidentally knocked a sea urchin off and the blue/brown groper wasn't sure how to go about it. It took him/her several attempts to eventually get a feed.

The second dive we went to the end of the reef and through the swim through and had a nice Little play with a curious octopus. At first he was scared and thought we were going to eat him, once he realized we were not going to eat him he decided to have a try at eating us. Lots more fun than it sounds :)
