Comments: "The Valiant" is a ferry reck off Barrenjoey heads at Palm Beach, NSW. An absolutely perfect day for diving with the water temperature at 22 degrees Celsius. There was an abundance of fish, including King Fish and Bullseyes surrounding and inside the wreck. A couple of Wobbygongs live on the wreck. This was our deep dive for the advanced course. Wish we had a bit longer on the wreck. Second dive was off the rocks at Palm Beach (near the pool). Saw a few aggressive cuttlefish and a few stingrays. This was the navigation dive for the advanced course and we repeated our bouyancy also.Matt Fowler (Instructor), Matt Payne and Dave Jarratt (DMIT's), and Hakin (Fellow student) also present.
