November scuba and free dive trip photos in South east Queensland.

One of those days when every man and his dog are out there for this one so Dave, Jeff and myself headed out as well.

The water wasn’t very clear and there was lots of current, but the water temp was around 23c, no swell what so ever and vis to begin with at 15 feet and later on maybe 20 to 25 feet.
There was lots of life at one of our regular spots, but else where with the current, forget it!
