Finally … It’s been over two weeks and the weather in sydney has been good enough that it has provided decent conditions for some free diving on the south side beaches, in this case (Oak park and Shelly beach).

We spent the whole day diving on sunday starting at 8:30 in the morning all the way to 4.00 in the evening. I tried to get there early enough to take shots of the sunrise but woke up way to late so instead of rushing decided to just relax and arrive at a decent time instead of  trying to see if i could make it at the break of dawn risking double demerit points seeing as this was (kind of) a long weekend.

The beach was full of swimmers, divers and surfers and many of the people that arrive in the morning around the same time I did were still there until sun down ! I think everyone knows that this kind of weather wont be common again for a few more months specially as we are heading straight for winter here in Sydney so they wanted to make the best of the day.

Free diving at oak park was pretty nice today, swell was pretty low throughout the day, lots of scuba divers coming in and out and the visibility was decent. The only problem is the water is getting extremely cold and as a result we had to get out of the water every 30 minutes or so as Damir was starting to get cold. I was using a shirt that kept me warm so I didn’t really feel the cold. Will probably be buying a wet suit sometime this coming month so that should be even better in keeping me warm during winter dives.

For lunch we had soup, yeah …. Damir brought the pressure cooker from his house, that he used to cook the soup to the beach and we used a ladle to put the soup into Styrofoam cups so we could eat. People were looking at the two weird guys eating soup out of a pressure cooker on the beach but who cares, the soup was delicious and the perfect pickup during lunch before more diving after midday.

Didn’t get to take much pictures just the one video displayed above. 🙂
