23/09/2025- Fairy Bower
Max Depth: 10 metres
Time: 70 minutes
Temp: 19 degrees
This was a very nice dive. We decided to go across the bay from the Fairy Bower entry to the right-hand side of Shelly Beach. It went well, and we ended up at the motorbike. On the way, we saw an octopus and some squid. Once on the motorbike, we saw tons of Port Jackson Sharks. On the way back to Fairy Bower, we found a very large Eagle Ray.
4/10/2025- The Gutter
Max Depth: 20.4 metres
Time: 49 minutes
Temp: 18 degrees
Well, that was a waste of a 2-hour drive to Shellharbour. Found out they had closed the road to Bushies, so went to the Gutter. Hadn't dived that site before, but heard it was good. Man, it sucked this day, though. Vis was atrocious, and the rocks were barren, completely stripped of any life by the urchins. Saw a Port Jackson Shark, a Fiddler Ray, a Crested Horn Shark and a cool nudi. The highlight was the whale song throughout the dive and seeing the whales swim past as we exited.

Max Depth: 7.5 metres
Time: 75 minutes

Birthday dive, and a pretty good one at that. All the usual Fairy Bower marine life and some Port Jacksons hanging around late in the season. Highlight was a wobbegong flexing its jaws, been wanting a photo of that for ages.
