Restricted access to Victoria
Not sure if the diving community is onto this, but the fishos are, and you should be.
If you like diving in Victoria anywhere that is not in enclosed waters from a boat, your access may be taken away from you.
The Department of Transport is reviewing marine safety. Great right! Not really. Some of the recommendations being considered are restricting all boats under 4.8 metres to enclosed waters. Boats 4.9 metres to 8 metres may travel up to 20 nm off shore.Boats 8 metres and over unlimited.
How will this affect you?

You know how these things work. First Vic, then NSW, .... Don't complain later folks. Now's the time.

Grey Nurse Shark rescued from fishing gaff in Byron Bay
by Simon
- I joined Sue and big Mark (from the Byron Bay Dive Centre) and (to avoid missing anyone) the Seaworld crew, Marine Parks and Fisheries aboard the Seaworld boat this morning for a rescue attempt. My job was videographer for the underwater part of the operation. All of the shark wrangling was done by Seaworld staff.
