Sydney Project, South Coast NSW deep wreck diving

Описание: Over the weekend of the 15th and 16th of June after a few months of preparation, the Sydney Project dive team completed 2 dives to a depth of 135m and 125m on the SS William Dawes and Coast Farmer wrecks respectively on the continental shelf off the coast of Bermagui NSW Australia.

The expedition team consisted of 8 bottom team divers split into 3 teams
Team 1 David Tipping, Alex Lee and Chris McCran
Team 2 Ruslan Pnevski, Tom Gower and John Wooden
Team 3 Samir Alhafith and Scott Wyatt
As well as 2 support divers Ben Claydon and Luke Carden and a dive supervisor Steve Kang

The first dive was conducted on the Saturday on the wreck of the William Dawes to a depth of 135m
The second dive was conducted on the Sunday on the wreck of the Coast Farmer (which has yet to be confirmed) to a depth of 125m.
The decompression times varied between 3 and a half to 4 hours between the teams.

A special thank you has to be mentioned to Ben Claydon, Luke Carden and Steve Kang who drove all the way from Melbourne to be support divers and dive supervisor on this expedition, which included helping the bottom teams gear up, getting them safely in and out of the water, diving to 30m to collect their bailout cylinders whilst they conducted decompression as well as setting up all of the decompression stations.

A thank you to expedition leader Samir Alhafith for organising this trip and the charter.

Steve and Scott of Fish Bermi and Bermagui Bait & Tackle NSW to take us out.

Both days of diving saw perfect conditions and breathtaking visibility of at least 40m at depth.
