Finding the way through one of the many caverns of the #lonsdalewall . Definitely One of the best dives you can do in #melbourne and in the 🌍. #muuc #melbournewalldives #melbournescuba

On the way for the torpedo tubes on the #j4submarine Blessed with a better than usual visibility 😊 Facts: The J class was designed by the Royal Navy in response to reported German submarines with surface speeds over 18 knots. Each submarine 84 m in length overall, with a beam of 6.7 m and a draught of 4.3 m. The propulsion system was built around three propeller shafts; the J-class were the only triple-screwed submarines ever built by the British.[1] Propulsion came from three 12-cylinder diesel motors when on the surface, and electric motors when submerged. Top speed was 19 knots on the surface (the fastest submarines in the world at the time of construction), and 9.5 knots underwater. Range was 7,400 km. Armament consisted of six 450 mm torpedo tubes (four forward, one on each beam), plus a 4-inch deck gun. Originally, the gun was mounted on a breastwork fitted forward of the conning tower, but the breastwork was later extended to the bow and merged into the hull for streamlining, and the gun was relocated to a platform fitted to the front of the conning tower. 44 personnel were aboard.

#portjacksonshark can you count them all? 🦈 facts: This common bottom-dweller is named for Port Jackson, the famed and stunning natural harbor of Sydney, Australia. It is also sometimes called the “Oyster Crusher”. The dorsal fins’ spines are thought to be the source of one of the family’s common names, “Horn sharks”. According to many on-line sources, these spines are reputed to be venomous. It sounded fishy to us (pun intended), and we could not find reliable support of the claim – in fact, one resource from the University of Michigan said that they are NOT venomous. The spines of juveniles can be quite sharp, but they become duller with age. Spines wash up beaches, and have reportedly been confused for objects from bird beaks to goat horns. This species can eat and breathe at the same time, an unusual ability because most sharks must swim open-mouthed to force water over their gills, in order to obtain oxygen. In contrast, the Port Jackson shark can actually pump water through its gills, while stationary.

Twinset and 2 stages on for our VP on this epic dive! Can you handle 4 cylinders underwater ? At @melbourne_uni_underwater_club we are open to all levels of scuba divers from neo certified OW to the most advance tech diver. Time to Join #MUUC , our 2020 membership enrolment starts next week! #2020membership #scubaclub #melbournediving

On our frequent trips at @phillipisland we frequently visit the shipwreck 🛳 George Kermode. This is probably one of the wrecks with the biggest amount of fish life on it. A bit of history: The George Kermode was scuttled by the Department of Conservation, Forests and Land on the 1 April 1976 as an artificial reef in Cunningham Bay off Phillip Island. The shipwreck now lies in upside down in 20 metres of water rising up to 12 metres at the highest point. Video 📼: Inside the boilers compartment #georgekermode #philipisland Always a stunning dive! Join MUUC and you’ll have the chance sooner or later to dive it too!

How great is our backyard? 🤿 Huge stingrays like this can be seen often from the top of a pier ! This one was cruising on the #lonsdalewall about 35 meters down . It was fairly easy to keep up with her pushed from the current of the tidal change 😅. Join #muuc and you’ll be able to spot one sooner than you think! #melbournescuba #victoriadownunder #portphillipbay #stingray
