31/10/07 - Sorry my bad, we weren't heading for Adelaide it was Port Lincoln. 300km drive this morning which was nothing compared to what we had covered already and we hit Port Lincoln were we'd stay for a few days. We had a cage dive booked with Great White Sharks on the 2nd and wanted to relax for a few days before. Went into town and played some pokies shocker I lost my 5 dollars with about a minute and another shock Jonny was up 50 dollars by the time we left!!
1/11/07 - Went for a drive round the town and came to the conclusion that Port Lincoln isn't very exciting and went back to the camp site and got an early night as we had an early start for the dive.
2/11/07 - We boarded the Calypso Star and met the crew before heading off to the Neptune Islands we're we'd hopefully meet some sharks. We were told that it was the calmest day they'd seen for ages, but i'd bought my sea sick pills the day before and already had some to be on the safe side. The boat journey was soo rough and I had to go and sit outside for most of it. It took about 2 and half hours to get there. Even Jonny was feeling rough. By the time we'd got there 6 people had met thrown up but I wasn't one of them!!! We saw seals or shark food as they call them and then anchored the boat (luckily it was quite calm between the neptune islands. Oh I forgot those people that were sick were told to do it in a bucket and not over the side (baring the one person who was sick over the boats controls) as it makes great burley. They chucked the burley over board and tuna oil hung from the sides and some massive tuna steaks were thrown in attached to rope and we waited.
About half an hour had gone when the first shark appeared and it was time for the first group to get in the water, that was me and Jonny and two others, great!! It was awesome, they lure the sharks in so close to the cage you could actually put your hand in their mouths if you wanted. Anyways I was so happy to get back on land my stomach was all over the place but I still hadn't been sick, result!! We set off for Adelaide that night.
