8th Dec Rye Melbourne University Underwater Club

Arrived bright and early after driving back from Airey's on a rainy but exciting night to MUUC dive trip.

There was much talk of a scandal amid 2 eskies (ch'u'lly b'u'ns) having being "stolen," including bacon and beer, not neccesarily in that order of importance.

We took both boats out, I drove Little Boat, which ended up running Big Boat down, possibly due to the lack of Auxilliary engne wieight (poor thing had been serviced, then fell off the boat on the freeway. Another trip - another broken engine.)

First dive was at the Wormy Reef (formerly Dumping Ground according to Evan), a couple of basalt shelves. Saw a shelf
full of zooanthids, the usual fish in a hideyhole.Three friendly young squid were the highlight, as they did a lovely dance and allowed me the priviledge of close up photo action.

For later that night, we collected scallops and mussels and ate them fresh off the barbie! We are Kings!
