Snapper point Dive yesterday

Post by yakhangger »

Now I know that this wasn't a yak dive and this is the ''Yak Diving '' topic page :oops: :oops: however I did promise Digger I would post all my dive video's since he is no longer diving. It's not the best video as vis wasn't all that great and there wasn't much sea life to be seen but interesting to see what is down there. Hope you enjoy.

Nice one Merv, post away.

Are you free weekdays for a night snorkel or just weekends?
Well past the edge, almost at the point of no return.

Nice vid merv,
Takes me back over 20 years.
I recall my comment when I first dived some of those bommies "Its like sticking your head in a fish tank"
Is that a squid hiding in the weeds at about 1:10 on the video.
Welcome to the underwater world, Congrats on achieving your open water certification & congrats on the video.
Look forward to catching up for a dive off the yak & also happy to join you on a shore dive or charter some day.
Keep them coming.

Merv thank you so much, I loved it and it bought back many memories of diving that area which was where it all started for me.

Considering the structure and growth on the bottom I am surprised you didn't see more fish life but I suppose it's been pretty well worked over after all this time. I used to get some nice dusky mowong and leatheries there, with the bonus of a decent flathead every now and then,

Watching that sure took me back with some great memories of dives I've done, and I love shots looking up at the surface with the light, movement, and bubbles.


Thanks again mate, much appreciated.
