South Channel Fort & The Grotto – Saturday 18th February 2023

Divers: Kev, Lachlan, Brett, James & Mark

Our first dive was on the Flood tide, so we chose to dive the Fort – I thinks theres more to see on the Flood, than say Popes Eye. We were dropped just inside the jetty & started our descent down the rocks, swimming to the south to the front of the island. Once we hit the current we turned and swam with the tide back along the rocks. The Fort is always an interesting dive & today was no different. If this was our only dive we would have had a great day. Our second dive was The Grotto, always a great dive but I think we were dropped in a really great spot. The terrain was amazing, the viz was 20m plus & the water temperature was 20 degrees. The fish life was abundant & there were plenty of Blue Devils which always makes for a good dive, there was a real buzz back on the boat as we motored back to the dock.
