Thread: Port Philip Bay water temp

> Ohhh yea that was me :) I was diving with three guys though one was further up the pier and I was walking back with two of them. Yea I saw two nudis I had never seen before AND the TAF but my u/w camera died a couple of weeks ago so no pics . Was a good dive , nice and log and I did a different spot to normal. Warm too at 18C!

But I won't go into details so as to not make you feel bad about missing it I nearly changed my mind just after I left, but had some early starts and late finishes lately so was running low on zzzz.

Harden the F*** up pills Didn't really help with the temperature but certainly made it more difficult to get out of the wetsuit! If you are taking them how have you got the time or energy to even put your wet suit on? Feeling a little light headed from the pills are we burn??

The outside air temp is a big factor for me getting out of the drysuit! When it is 30 C or more I get so hot inside the drysuit that I am just about ready to collapse. And I get so sweaty inside it that it can barely be called a a "dry" suit anymore.

> Hi Saspotato, I think I spoke with you. I asked you did u see the Tasselled anglerfish etc! U were with two guys! I was there with my semi regular buddy! Small world! And no I didn't see the TAF but still a good dive! I found a rare invertebrate but could I get a decent pic... NO! Day dives - I think a permit system ( ) is required now! Ha! Simon

> Because a drysuit is so much easier to slip on rather than pulling on a wetsuit. You can stay down for longer, not get cold and get back in the water again for second dive without a reduction in core temperature. It can improve gas use. For twin tank diving (or any diving) it gives you redundant buoyancy. We dived up at Moreton Island with water temps of 21 degrees. After the first couple of dives the wetsuit people had the shivers and...

> It starting to need traffic lights during the day. Bad site for lots of people too because the bottom is very dusty.

> Had 14 - 15 degrees on the wall and 13 - 14 degrees on one of the subs over Melb Cup weekend

> I had 16 at Ricketts on Sunday morning. But as our good friend Mr Chopper Read would say, "Australia, you need a good dose of harden the f@$k up!"
