Today was the
first ever Griffith University Dive Club Mystery Dive. 10 people jumped in the bus at 5am with only one person (me) knowing where we were headed. We ended up going out on Supercat with
Nautilus to Flinders Reef. What a fun day!

Nautilus run a great boat with all the space and comfort you could hope for, as well as including an amazing lunch. Thanks to all the crew for a great day.

Sure, the conditions weren't amazing with overcast skies all day and some of the worst vis Flinders ever gets... but when the worst vis they get is 15-20m, we weren't about to complain. We had turtles, sharks (for some), caves, nudibranchs, batfish, and hundreds of other reef fish, and some of the most beautiful corals around. Who would have thought all of this was available only about an hour from the Gold Coast?

I can't wait for the next magical mystery dive... where will it be? Who knows?
