Hi

Looking forward to meeting you on Wednesday.

Regards diving, we booked our sandboarding at Nelson Bay and I believe you can book dives from there aswell. They have an office under the Hogsbreath restaurant, along the marina front. I have a leaflet on it which I can bring on Wednesday.

Off to work now....

Fab photo SB, I saw that sky on the way home last night, I tried to photograph it from inside the car and all I got was white flash photo reflecting from the glass!!!!! Seems there were a few of us admiring that sky yesterday!!!

Sorry for being so slow in replying

We have our own gear and as there is so much good (and I mean GOOD) shore diving in Nelson Bay area we just jump in on our own. We have been on boat dives out to Broughton Island though - we went with Pro Dive at the marina in Nelson Bay and they were very good (if a little pricey). I think there may be other operators but not sure of their names/location to be honest.

Cheers,

Graham

Thanks! I think I'll have to go up and do a proper reccie of my own and trawl all the centres/operators up there. OH has his own kit, but I don't. (And until I get my arse in to some paid employment I won't be shelling out on any either!) Until then maybe I'll just buy myself a mask&snorkel and splash around in the shallows on my own!

Hope the work thing happens for you, diving in Port Stephens is amazing and you don't need to go out on a boat, just jump in off the beach in a lot of locations.

This guy http://www.daveharasti.com/ is a marine biologist based in Nelson Bay studying the seahorses there. His photos of marine life in the bay are amazing - and he's a really nice bloke to boot!!

Here's a few shots of life under the water in Port Stephens from our last visit there a couple of weeks ago...

Get underwater as soon as you can LOL

great piccies graham. but what on earth is that thing on the left, dont tell me its an eel

Yes, it's a yellow Moray Eel. But don't worry, they keep themselves to themselves and are harmless (unless to poke your finger at it - then it will take one of your digits off with no trouble whatsoever )
