Oak Park

Oak Park put on its usual magnificence and I had the pleasure to dive with 2 different buddies here.


How good is this place? I am proud to say that this is where I live- pretty special :)

First dive was with a seasoned diver "Richard": We spent almost 60 minutes went out to the cave and saw a few blue groupers, cuttlefish and a bull Ray.

The second dive was with "Rob", who had had a disappointing first dive with a buddy that lasted 20 minutes on a 10L tank. We went out to the cave and a bit beyond. We saw a few Crested Horn Sharks out beyond the cave and the same blue groupers and cuttlefish as on the first dive. Just over the hour for the second dive (61 mins). I was on a 8L tank and still had 80 bar left when we surfaced. I do enjoy social dives and seem to have much better air consumption when I am not concerned for anyone else. Also I think when I am looking after other people I never really get the chance to see how long my air will last as I normally surface before my computer signals the 110 bar turnaround alarm

2 Great dives - I reqally do enjoy Oak Park, it is my favourite dive site in Sydney and rarely dissapoints.
We found this guy a few meters off the shore near the swimming pool. This was before we had even descended on our dive,
