Blackwall Reach Club Night Dive

Wednesday 10 May 2023

What an awesome Wednesday night out for our Manta Club members weekly night dive. With dodgy weather forecasts in place along the coast we ventured back to the river and my favourite spot, Blackwall Reach.

Water was flat and despite a bit of a surface current it was a great dive. Visibility was great and plenty an underwater critter to see.

Tonight we followed a new underwater trail line put down by local diver Christopher Benzie Dodd. You now have the option to either surface swim, as we have always done, to the marker buoy then descend onto the barge or to follow the new line that starts not far from the jetty underwater direct to the barge. Either way you are in for a treat.

As the seasons change we will spend more time back in the river. It is an awesome place to dive, especially at night in winter.

Thanks to all the divers that braved the night and made it a lot of fun.
