Jane and I went to the Monument in Kurnell for a shore dive on the 8th October.

There was a very strong current on the dive today which was quite surprising given that we were in the water about 30 minutes after high tide. There was a spring tide which saw a low of 0.4M and a high of 1.7M. followed by a low of 0.3M This caused a huge volume of water to want to move out of the bay in the 6 hours between high and low.

It was like trying to dive on a very windy day. We had to hold on to the rocks to maintain position and swimming forward took a lot of effort. While trying to hold on to take a photograph we were getting hit with loose kelp 'blowing' past like tumbleweeds

Obviously this site is impacted by the size of the tide, so it is something to bear in mind if you are considering diving here.

Hello, I think, many liveaboard virgins are worried about boredom when not diving but with up to four dives a day available, most divers are happy to relax on the sundeck between dives and catch some rays. In my time aboard the Pairnee, I struggled to read one book, write in my journal or even fill out my dive log.
