My final dive in Bryon and another 7:00 start, again this was round Code Hole, but the second time always give you a detailed look. Approaching the Hole, you at first see only a void of darkness as you drop further your eyes adapt to the darkness and you notice the opening at the other end. The passage is only 3-4 meters and not a scratch on fish rock caves; an 80 meters lava tube.
All in all a lovely dive, with the normal Wobbegongs, Bulleye, turles and even Porcupine fish. Again I was getting colder towards the end, however not as dramatic as my previous dive. Also saw some impressive urchins, and not just the Brittle urchins.
After my dive I chilled, watched League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, poor but a good waste of time.
Dive 23: Julian Rocks (Cod Hole) Bryon Bay, NSW.
In 200 Bar 7:25
Out 70 Bar 8:59
21 meters
42 Bottom Time
Visibility 5-9
Temp 19c
Weights 6*1.5
Better dive as breathing and swimming more controlled, thought you can always do better. Plenty of aquabatics, like vertical descents; however at several points I feels the air going slightly bad, ok but not nice. The swim thought code hole, easy; however must remember to first dump more air from my BCD.
