Double boat dive with Dive Ski and Surf. We met at the Two Rocks jetty at 7 am (after 1 hour drive from Perth) then a 2 hour boat drive to the site...
A great return visit to this fabulous wreck. Hot day, slight swell, moderate current.
Divemaster Peter organised a line all the way from boat to wreck - from deco bar, under boat, down to wreck - and we were told to use it.
Heat stress on entry. Resolved quickly. School of silver bream in midwater. Descended line although there was no current to speak of. Dropped to bottom.
At 38-40 m, not a huge amount to see. Pretty corals (with funny music playing ....) Western footballers, lots of sergeant bakers on metal struts, bullseye, male King wrasse.
The best sight was a ladder from 40 to 35 m, which was completely encrusted and decorated. Plenty of good photos here.
