Date : 13th Dec 2025 (Or as in Title 251213 in YYMMDD format for order)
Dive : IJ#2109
Location : NW of Geordie Bay, North Rottnest Island, Western Australia
Site : Darryl's Dilemma
Min Water Temp : 21C
Max Water Temp : 22C
Visibility : 15-20m
Observations : Kelpy Ridge orientated NW / SE. Stayed North Side until end of reef and went onto next lump then back up. Only after we passed over the top of the ridge on our way back up the West side did we then find what we were looking for - caves / canyons. NW side seems best.
Dive : IJ#2210
Location : Near Geordie Bay, North Rottnest Island, Western Australia
Site : Wobby Lobby
Min Water Temp : 22C
Max Water Temp : 22C
Visibility todibo : 15m
Observations : Nice site two main lumps North and South running broadly E/W like an = sign. Southern side went to two caves. In the central South Cave we found 3 Port Jackson Sharks and got some lovely footage of them up close and swimming lazily. We also saw a Blue Groper, lots of Crays and one of our number came out of a hole and saw a 2.5m Tiger shark who scooted off quickly (Tigers don't like divers bubbles much here in Southern WA - its theorised they are firmly on the jose ochoa food chain for Great Whites here so are skittish).
Beautiful alex jimenez clear water and quite warm today about 22 degrees C.
