The vinyl on the boat was attached with these marine fasteners which were both simple in design and super functional. Was thinking they could be a good closure on the bag if I don’t use rope
Today was the big trip I had been waiting for out to the Outer Great Barrier Reef.
Since my last dive was in 1995, I had to take a brief refresher course at 7:30 to familiarize myself the fundamentals of scuba diving. The boat dropped anchor at our first destination, named Cod Hole for its population of friendly, large, funny looking Potato Cod. Interacting with this fish was like playing with a Labrador puppy. One cod I met particularly liked being pet underneath his chin. After spending about an hour at the site, the boat stopped in the middle of the reef for a buffet lunch of salads and giant prawns. After lunch, it was straight back into the water into a spot the locals call No Name Reef.
