Omeo Wreck Night Dive
Omeo Wreck Night Dive
Wednesday 28 June 2023
I have always said night dives bring out the beautiful critters and I was right for last Wednesday nights dive at the Omeo Wreck Trail. What a great pod of divers that turned up for a night in the water.
Conditions were near perfect and visibility was the best we have seen along the coast in recent weeks. Omeo is a relatively shallow dive but always puts on a good show of night time marine life. Cuttlefish, Cobbler and different varieties of squid were seen. Quite a few divers have taken to explore the world of hidden coral colours using UV lights. The underwater world glows with brilliant colour and the Coogee Marina Wall is a great place to explore.
Whilst still a little cool in the water it was an awesome night out. As winter moves on we are seeing more and more dry suits coming out of the cupboards. Even I was tempted and donned the Scubapro Everdry Neoprene dry suit. I’ve always thought they were more fuss and bother than they were worth but I have to say I am a bit of a convert now. I’m sure I’ll run a few more ‘test’ dives over the next few weeks.
Thank you to all the regular Manta Club members that attended and it was great to see some some of the divers that attend our Sunday dives take the plunge and join our night time adventures. There were smiles all around from those undertaking their first night dive and finding out being out there in the dark isn’t a scary as they thought.
If you are keen to give a night dive a try join us next Wednesday night. We are a pretty cool bunch, especially during winter……..If the cold is keeping you away, drop in to Perth Scuba and have a chat to the guys and girls in the shop about the options available for keeping warm. You might be surprised at what is available these days.
Safe diving and see you on our next adventure.
