After allie declaring it as the must-do dive here in oz, we decided to take the plunge, and wreck dive to 30m.

We had to do some deep dive training, including a number game underwater to see the effects of nitrogen narcosis at depth. I was rather affected and didn't take a lot in on my first dive! As usual i used a lot of air though. The second dive was amazing. Between the vibrant corals we could see glimpses of life on the SS Yongala, most noticeably the toilets. We swam with some amazingly big fish, shoals of hundreds of fish, and 4 turtles! I got my dream to swim along with a turtle and even stroke his back.

An amazing dive which puts us on the way towards our advanced. Thanks allie for the tip, and sorry i made you so jealous during ur exams!
