Returning to Port Beach to find Weedy Seadragons

Wednesday 23 March 2023

As the sun set over perfect conditions our divers geared up for the return to Port Beach to find Weedy Seadragons.

After having to relocate our dive here a few weeks ago due to the beach being closed the divers enthusiasm was high.

It was another awesome turn out with 22 divers here to dive. As part of his training and practice in conducting a Club Dive I handed the reins over to Perth Scuba DMT Craig to give the site brief. Thanks to Craig for giving me a hand in keeping the crowd in check……

It was another great night to dive this site. Visibility was good and with the 7 knot wind and low swell it was almost a perfect night to dive.

Divers reported seeing the unicorn of the sea, the Weedy Seadragon, some for the first time. I love seeing the excitement on their faces when they come back to shore.

Rays and curious Port Jackson’s were a plenty, along with an assortment of other cool undersea critters.

Thank you again for everyone that came along and I hope to see you at the next club dive.
