Warm Xplorers
“Stuff this, it’s to cold, I’m heading up”
At least these were the thoughts going through my head as I indicated to Dan that I had, had enough.
A thumbs up and we ascended along the extremely well placed anchor line. As we headed back to the Red Rocket, we finished another story in Xplore dives history, THE WARMER WINTER DIVE!
A bunch of fairly ordinary people, dressed up like lunatics (warm lunatics) and headed out to a little known dive site 10 minutes off Mooloolaba named the Pinnacles for an excellent dive.
The Pinnacles has not been dived by SCUBA world, or anyone on the boat for over 10 years, this awesome multi-level dive includes, two, 8m rock Pinnacles that rise up form 24m to 16m. The sites itself is extremely interesting and includes elements of swim-throughs, trenches, walls, soft and hard corals, smooth rock summits and a surprisingly large array of fish life.
Ian McKinnon (Owner, SCUBA World) dropped us right on the site after not being there for 10 years, not bad….
After the dive we headed park side to share body warmth… Around a BBQ, where we told manly stories about the dive and laughed while John cooked the BBQ…..Again, with some help of Geoff (thanks guys).
The winner for best dressed has got to be Alex, anyone who dives in PJ’s is seriously committed, (we definitely need a photo of that) Email me Alex to claim your prize 
Thanks again to everyone for another top day out, once again there was no hand-holding and things went smoothly. Thanks to John for the navigation talk, trust everyone used it as we found the boat again
Now I have finished typing I’m going back to defrosting.
