Recreational Scuba Diving

With Brisbane for the most part has returning to normal, it's time again
to remind ourselves how beautiful Brisbane is. Our divers have since been out to Cook Island and Stradbroke Island and conditions have
not been affected by the floods. James McVeigh, the owner/manager of Reality Cruises is also happy to report that the top end of Moreton Island
is completely unaffected and Flinders Reef has great visibility and perfect conditions. The inside of Moreton Bay and Tangalooma are feeling the effects at the moment but it is improving and is expected to be clearing over the next two weeks.
