Diver's Notes

Coral trout spawning site check.

This dive almost didn't end well. As Dirk and I were ascending and at around less than a 1 meter depth, two jet ski's went directly over our heads. We had a dive flag up and we were about 10 meters from the boat. It was a close call.

When we were in the boat again, Dirk chased and followed the boat to a nice size catamaran. When we pulled up Dirk started having giving them a piece of his mind. Rightly so, the jet skiers were in the wrong. As this went on I recognized one of the skiers as Micheal Doohan , the Australian former formula 1 motorcycle champion. Its not everyday you almost get taken out by a champion.
