After 4 years of enduring winter surveys in Port Phillip Bay, the RLS team had the luxury of trialling a summer survey trip… or so they thought! It turns out the Victorian summer isn’t all that crash hot either! The small crew of Don Love, Jen Hoskin, Sylvia Buchanan, Tim Crawford and Toni Cooper conquered some bad vis and strong winds, but by the end of the week everyone was still smiling and had heaps of surveys to show for it!

The Derwent Estuary Program recently initiated a recovery project for the endangered spotted handfish, with RLS assisting to establish a core group of local divers that can assist in monitoring a couple of key handfish populations in the Derwent Estuary. The second survey weekend for this project was held over the 12th and 13th March to survey handfish not far from the centre of Hobart and, like the first, was incredibly successful.

The RLS group of Far East Gippsland, is a small group of diving dinosaurs, that are so old that they can still remember snorkels with ping-pong balls and goggles with Perspex lenses!
