17th April 2026 – Buchanans to South Boulder Drift

The weather is not looking so good next week, so today was the last chance until this southerly system passes.
Dive one today was at Cleaner Station, we had a few Painted Crayfish, Wobbegongs, Bullrays, 1 Leopard Shark near North Boulder, and plenty of Nudibranchs in Cleaner Gutter.

Dive two was a bit different; we did a huge drift from Buchanan’s Wall, past The Gantry, and up to South Boulder! This dive was epic with 3 Leopard Sharks at Buchanan’s, Moray Eels, Turtles at 5m Rock, a Mantis Shrimp, Leopards on Boulder Wall, and a very friendly Green Sea Turtle at The Gap.

Congratulations to Hayley, Sue, and Alex, who all finished their PADI Open Water Course today
