Buccaneer Dive Dates 2011

Buccaneer dive diary until March anyone fancy dipping a toe



After several years of nagging and (my) heartbreak/sleepless nights we have finally cut an access door into the stern of Buccaneer. Most of the work is finished now apart from some stainless steel hand rails and retention plates, which should go on during this week.

On Sunday, we went to the Brisbane as it was sheltered from the NE wind. Water temperature at 8C and fair vis.

Water temp is 9C offshore and about 6C inshore

Remember that if the weather is a bit fresh, we keep the cabin/wheelhouse heated and can generally offer a hot shower on the aft deck after the dive.....SO IT'S ONLY OUTSIDE THE CABIN THAT CAN GET A BIT COOL AND THE SEA IS (REALITIVELY) WARM.....

Some dates for 2011 are now available to book.......

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone. Hope we get a bit more diving in this year.

Also, Debbie, Ian and Parsley wish us all a Happy New Year. They are having a great time, weather is good, sitting around the pool in t-shirts and shorts. Sounds like Parsley is turning into a beach bum.

I bet they are missing our weather - not.
