Devils Drop Off & Portsea Hole - Saturday 21st January 2023

Devils Drop Off & Portsea Hole – Saturday 21st January 2023

Divers: Liam, Leif, Guy, Pete & Mark

Once again we arrive very early, but at least this week we all had a car park. And just while we are talking about carparks in Portsea, the girl from the coffee shop on the corner told one of our crew that the parking in the Service Lane is only for 2 hours. I assume this is to keep parking available for her customers? Which was a nice try, however, the reality is, parking in the service lane (except the first two spots  on the right) is All Day parking. Anyway back to the diving, yeap you guessed it, oily flat water, 20-30 metre viz, 19 degree water & a slack tide that came earlier – this is as good as it gets :). 

Portsea Hole is not quite as exciting for us as the Devis Drop Off, we are diving to 30 metres & once you get past 25 metres at Portsea Hole it’s just sand :(. So we complete our skills and work on our ascent – maybe next week we’ll get to fully appreciate the ‘Hole’ on a fun dive.
