Diver's Notes

Took a speed boat ride out to the outer ocean just outside the mouth of Sydney Harbour.Really looking forward to this dive as the practical side of my PADI Shark Awareness Certification.Also dived used Nitrox.
The intention was to see Grey Nurse Sharks as well as listening out for Whale calling.What happened couldn't have been more opposite to a nice dive.For some reason I felt extremely seasick for the first time ever.Upon entering the water, the instructor disappeared immediately before me and my buddy realised that the visibility was actually 1 metre at the max.Descended down to 29 metres with less than a metre vis.Felt very claustrophobic and just kept eyes on my buddy.Saw absolutely nothing!Cold as well.Worst dive I've done to date.Actually quite nervous.
