360 Degree Weather

23rd November 2008

 

First, a disclaimer – I’m not being the first person to write because I think what I have to say is of great value, but because I was ordered to do so! This was my first trip on "Ocean Shrek" (thinks, Les and Viv!) and it has been fun experience. Dives were colder than I have ever been (even with 2 wetsuits!) but at least I got to see the "weedies"; and what about those whales? Fantastic – best views I have ever seen! Really sociable bunch of people made the evenings great, too. Thanks to all!

Sometimes things don’t live up to expectations and sometimes they wildly exceed them, almost blindsiding you with adventure and good times. So it was with zero expectations, but great excitement that we made the trip from Sydney to meet the mythical sea monster of good times that lurks in the legendary waters of stories told by diving buddies on wild undivable weekends. With the good Capt Mick and his giggle juice in hand, alongside him the ever efficient, and take no bollocks, Lyn, we ventured off into the surprisingly clear waters of the bay…. Many drinks, laughs, hearty insults, and an awesome flow of delicious treats streaming from the Galley (loved the Pav!! Thanks Carlie). Oh, yes, and we got a few dives in too. Thanks for an adventure to remember – Gerard

Thanks to all the crew on Ocean Shrek – and a special thanks to Cherie who helped me ease back into diving after a long time off the tanks. Was great to be trapped aboard with so many experienced enthusiasts only too willing to share their underwater shoots – awesome. Even though I didn’t see as much underwater as the rest of the gang, I got to see it over dinner. – Peter S.

You never know what can happen, when you sleep in your campervan too close to the Ocean Trek …. We found us 12 hours later on it J !

We knew before that we wanna make some dives again in Jervis Bay but we had no idea that we would make a live-on-board trip! It was a perfect weekend … maybe not the weather and the water temperatures (13 C are even to cold for Austrians!). But we have seen for what we came back ΰ the WEEDY SEADRAGON!

Thanks for everything – special for the Aussie language lesson "How is it going mate" … "I am yours" …. "road killed meat" …

We really enjoyed the beautiful friendly trip
