Kahn A. (Rescue Diver) Recommends The Bookcase, Great Mercury Island

Aug 16, 2021

Was on a dive trip with BoP polytechnic 10 or 11 years back had a morning dive here was clear sky and water 25-30m vis early summer, as the sun rose it illuminated a wall covered in bluebell tunicates, for a moment the wall was a mesmerizing tapestry of ever changing blues of every shade imaginable even the divemaster lost track and noone got any photos or video one of my best experiences diving I look forward to seeing it again once I get back into diving

Was stoked to descend right down onto a pair of Johnnies! Awesome diving and a very scenic boat ride to get there.
