Tweed Coast

Looking at the forecast models, there was a short window of calm conditions for South Qld/North NSW. I organised a dive with Paul OS & Ryano out of Tweed Heads.



We found some clean water out on 9 Mile, and patchy water in at 5 Mile. The current was reasonably strong on both reefs, and made the drifts fairly quick.

9 Mile we saw plenty of sharks, cod, grouper and rays. A pair of Giant Trevally were around, and I had a chance to spear the bigger one :)

25+ kg Giant Trevally

5 Mile turned up a few small Spanish Mackerel, and one big one. I managed to spear a smaller one (~7kg) at the end of a drift.

On the way back in, we checked Fido's , but the swell was breaking and the water was filthy!
