Hey guys, Smile

finally getting a chance to get in the water again after a couple of years... so we've booked an AirBnB two weeks from now on the bay and hopefully the sea conditions will be good??

I really wanna have some luck this time, would love to get a Cray (probs to shallow) or spear (my breath hold will be rubbish) something decent!

I plan to snorkel the coastline and maybe kayak out to a bit of foul ground further out. also, if I see anything worth investigating, I plan to Solo SCUBA dive and hug the coast, no deeper than 10m... the Mrs will be above on the Kayak (not that that helps much)..

I'm no threat to anyone's Kai Moana as I rarely get the chance.. but some intel would be much appreciated or at least some local knowledge and safety advice?

Never solo dived before and rarely if ever get a chance to Dive over the past ~25 years...

look forward to hearing from anyone, peace out.

Stevo
