I am thinking of sailing down to the heads on Saturday from Sorrento and jigging for Kings - any AI'ers interested?

No Kings, just some sailing video for those that are interested.

You may see us passing through the Heads on a charter boat with Dive Victoria.
We will be heading to HMAS Canberra off Barwon Heads for a dive.

Descended and landed on the bottom at 28.3 m near the bow of the Canberra.
Followed the hull up to the deck then proceeded to the comms towers.
A bit of surge pushed us around near some of the openings but was a good dive.
Didn't see a lot of fish & no Kings to send your way.
Plenty of kelp is starting to grow on the hull.
Ended up only a 15 minute dive.
Used my 9 litre faber smaller tank I bought to use on the yak.
Need to reduce my air consumption or take a bigger tank on these charter dives.
