On the weekend I completed another rejuvenating dive in our wonderful Port Phillip Bay. Blairgowrie was the location and the amount of marine life reminded me just how healthy this place is. I have dived here on numerous occasions and as dive sites go, what can be found there is some of the most diverse ranges in the bay. Everything from numerous schools of fish, large bull rays, small rays, nudibranchs, squid, octopus, crabs, seahorses, as well as beautiful soft sponges and corals. It rarely fails to disappoint and it offers the most sheltered location in the bay, making it diveable on most every day except when very strong Northerlies blow.

Finding A Solution – Not Being Part Of The Problem.
Once again we have had a shark attack occur that has taken the life of a person, this time on the NSW coast. It is a sad situation, but is not one that needs to be dwelled upon by sensationalising it and whipping up a frenzied hysteria.
Whilst there are many more things that cause a loss of human life each day on this planet, I will not lower myself to list them, because like this, they need to be dealt with separately to reduce the possibility of reoccurrence in a responsible and sensible manner, and right now they suffer from the same condition which is ignorance of what we know, coupled with a human desire to live as we please. So instead I shall once again share my thoughts on what has happened and how we really need to address this alone.
