McNought Comet Diving 21st January 2006
Looking into the southern night a large streak cloud. Surfacing from our night dive, the excitement on deck was not about the amazing sights on the ocean floor but about the celestial display hanging over Jervis Bay. The comet we had being hearing about in the news but hadn’t seen was putting what is probably the best comet sighting since perhaps Haley's comet back around 1910, last night’s comet would have been close to one tenth of the sky in length. With a soft red glow to the comets head reflecting the early evening setting sun and a huge tail, sharp on one side and fanned towards the east like a feather plume or a drifting column of smoke over a huge bush fire, probable a once in a lifetime spectacle (L.D. 21-1-07). What a show you guys put on. A friendly and obliging crew, fantastic food (had a wetsuit zipper blow out!), beautiful underwater adventures, even if it was sub-Antarctic temperatures, and a light show supplied by McNought’s comet that was second to none. Feel very spoilt and enlightened. Thanks to the Ocean Trek crew for a sensational weekend. Claudette Thanks, for looking after Pro Dive Drummoyne round 2 we are now looking forward to the next trip later in the year! Brad Greentree Awesome Time!!!Had a Ball!!thanks a bunch, beautiful food!!Fantastic staff!!AND don't forget the crew!!Sure to come again!!! Thanks again Nicole Pereira and Ryan Neave!!!! You know what’s the best thing to happen on a relaxed dive weekend? Sleeping in!! Thanks guys! Ruud What a great weekend, certainly well worth the effort. Diving was fantastic but unfortunately no seedy weed dragons(!) to be seen. A great time had by all under the McNought’s Comet, a big thank you to the friendly staff of the Ocean Trek, we will be back soon. David and Meredith. Pity about the Seedy weed dragons, although they were probably looking at us the whole time. The hospitability and general looking after from the crew was fantastic. The highlights were the night dive and emerging to see the comet. Anastasia Tsatralis Had an awesome time, Everything was great the food the DIVES, the snorkelling and all the friendly staff and crew that made this happen! will be defiantly coming another time and will be looking forward to it thanks heaps guys.
