25.01.2022 What would you do? This is a once in a lifetime encounter. Amazing!

24.01.2022 Picutured is a shoal of squid filmed dispersing as a hopeful diver attempts to film them. Squid have very good eyesight. They are also know to be very fast. This helps them a. Avoid predators for which there are many (locally the Yellowtail Kingfish is known to have a fetish for squid) and b. Acitively hunt prey (this includes other squid...).

24.01.2022 Do you feel better when you are surrounded by nature? I sure do. Maybe one day snorkelling will be prescribed by doctors. Something to think about...

21.01.2022 To what does this belong? You may also ask, what is that?

18.01.2022 I’m sorry we disturbed your siesta Mr seal pup. #nature #seal #donotdisturb #visitnsw #sapphirecoast

14.01.2022 - Can you guess the species of shark?

10.01.2022 Who wore it better? The female (left) or male (right). Interesting fact: All Blue Groper start their lives as females. As they mature they can become a male or remain a female. This is a common trait for many wrasse species. Blue Groper are common throughout NSW particularly on shallow reefs. Since 1998 Blue Groper have been recognised as the state fish emblem for NSW. They are very diver friendly, especially if you crush up some Sea Urchins.

10.01.2022 After a day of consistent rain myself and a couple of guests were treated to a brilliant day that followed. The sun was shining, southwesterly blowing and the water was surprisingly clear. During the dive we encountered an array of marine life. Most notably a pod of Common Dolphins that frolicked nearby for the duration of our dive. Other sightings included Blue Groper, Green Eel's, an Octopus, a Magpie Morwong and an Eagle Ray to name a few. Overall it was a relaxing and interesting snorkelling experience. After snorkelling we warned up with a cup of organic hot chocolate and a healthy light lunch prepared by the friendly team at Sprout, Eden.

09.01.2022 Has anyone else ever seen these around??? The ocean never seizes to amaze.

06.01.2022 Not a fan of gyms. Not to worry, mother nature has you covered.

05.01.2022 People often ask me 'what can I see?' when booking a snorkelling experience. I usually start by explaining we snorkel in a temperate marine environment where life is different to that of the tropics. Then continue to list fish, habitats, invertebrates, underwater structures that can be observed on the Far South Coast. Below are photographs of 24 fish, Shark and Ray species that were observed and recorded on a recent 2 hour snorkelling experience. This only scratches the su...rface of the life inhabiting the waters of the Far South Coast. Before I caption each photo with the common species name I want to challenge the ACWA audience to correctly identify as many of them as possible. Tag a friend that has a eye for fish identification.

04.01.2022 What a lovely and adventurous day ACWA spent with two charming couples yesterday in the Ben Boyd National Park. Recent bad weather dictated that things were nev...er going to be straightforward yet, armed with a positive ‘can do’ attitude, our intrepid group made the most of the day by embracing the unscripted nature of the tour. After a good dose of coastal sightseeing and informative commentary we made our way to beautiful Bittangabee Bay. There we encountered some beautiful Lyrebirds, Bowerbirds, Currawongs and a very friendly Wallaby while bathed in warm winter sunshine. Conditions were unsuitable for our planned dive at Bittangabee so an alternate location was sought in nearby Disaster Bay. To our pleasant surprise, the sea was calm and very clear - perfect for a dive! With excited anticipation we geared up and made our way to the waters edge, last minute checks and adjustments were made before we all plunged into the surprisingly wonderful world of winter diving on the far south coast. Our two couples had been very attentively listening to the volumes of ‘theory’ on abalone and lobster hunting imparted by their experienced guide on the way down and were now very keen to undertake the ‘practical’. They must of been listening well because they soon caught a couple of abalone each before switching their attention to lobsters. After about twenty minutes of rigorous searching we were rewarded with the discovery of a crevice holding about a dozen legal sized lobsters. Special mention must go to Mel and Roope who performed like seasoned cray divers to catch their first ever lobsters from the wild, well done to both of you! We were content with four lobsters and happy for the others to stay free. Funny how time flies, it was mid afternoon by now but we still had some hands on learning and, more importantly, eating to do so we went back to Bittangabee to process and eat some of our catch. During the day everyone got a little bit puffed, a little bit cold, a lot wet of course, and even shed a drop of blood but we loved every minute of it, you could say the tour was perfectly imperfect, and a real triumph of perseverance! When the time came to say goodbye it was with a degree of sadness because we all knew we had shared a very memorable day together.

04.01.2022 It isn't hard to see how these guys picked up the name 'Eagle Ray'. Just like Eagles these rays flap their wings and glide the only difference is they do so underwater (most of the time). Some species even have the ability to 'fly'. It is always a pleasure to see Eagale Ray's efficiently gliding through the water column. Just another reason to get in the water.

02.01.2022 The days one could buy cheap, fresh crayfish have long since gone, and the retail price of this seafood delicacy can be as high as $9/kg. DPI 1980’s Well, it’s fair to say the price of crayfish has changed (maybe add a 0). What remains unchanged is the enjoyment one can have ‘skindiving for crayfish’. An activity that is exciting, relaxing, challenging and satisfying all at the same time.
