Easter Long Weekend in Wooli

I first arrived in Australia on the Thursday before the Easter Long Week. I quickly learned that Sydney largely shuts down and there's hardly anything open.

Thus I've made it a point to be somewhere. Do you detect a theme?

• First Easter Long Weekend 2010: Kangaroo Island (in South Australia) 
• Second Easter Long Weekend 2011: Rottnest Island (in West Australia) which is known for its "quokka" (small wallaby) 
• Third Easter Long Weekend 2012: Solitary Island near Wooli (about a 7 hour drive North of Sydney)

My friend Andrea (who I met on another Pro Dive Weekend Trip to Fish Rock) and I joined Pro Dive on its Easter Long Weekend trip to Wooli. The aspiration was to dive Pimpernel Rock, but due to the current/wind conditions we centered our diving to Solitary Island.

I did 8 dives with my awesome dive buddy Andrea who's the best navigator ever and Wooli Dive Center!

Dive #152: Fish Soup (max depth 16.2 m, 43 min) Very heavy surge, really deserved its name as we were tossed around in poor visibility, murky water.
 Dive #153: Anemone Bay (max depth 18.6 m, 44 min) Saw three turtles, wobbygong, school of batfish and lots of anemone and a lion fish in a crevice.
