Oak Park

I went out to Oak Park, south of Cronulla this weekend. It is my favorite dive site in Sydney and there is always something interesting happening out here.

My buddy was Tim and he helped my make my latest short Epic: Tim & The Titans of Oak Park


I seem to be getting good on my air consumption as the first dive was 1 hour 6 minutes and I still surfaced with 105 bar in the tank. I probably could have stayed down another 25 minutes or so. I was using the 10 litre tanks and I usually only dive with the 7 litre tanks, but as this was a social dive I took the bigger tank.


The visibility closed down a bit on the second dive as it was low tide. The first dive visibility was about 5-6M and the second dive down to 3-4M.

I do like Oak Park and would recommend it to anyone who has never dived there or anyone who is looking for a good shallow dive site on Sydney's doorstep. Max depth 10M.

The Leap

I went diving at The Leap and The Steps in Kurnell National Park on Saturday. Both dives were magical and the second dive reminded me why I love diving.

We saw 3 different species of shark (Wobby, PJ and Crested Horn). We were accompanied most of the time by big Eastern Blue Groupers. We had some fun with cutlefish, saw squid and Weedy Sea Dragons and we found a large Sea Turtle (I think it was a Loggerhead)

I had some fun with a friend making a film short about the leap. Here it is if your interested...
