Re: How deep do you hunt?

Maximum of 14m so far but usual is a gradual range starting with a few aspetto at around 3m - then out to about 6m to 8m (majority of session) and a few dives at 9m to 12m.

This is mostly due to tidal conditions - you have about a two hour period before the tide kicks in fiercely and so to swim from shore to deeper spots would mean that you wouldn't come back to the same spot (or you would be really really knackered ).

Hoping to dive from boats more this year and then maybe dive up to 16m to 20m... who knows.

Mostly dive along the reef/sand border for bass using aspetto.
Some shallow diving in the weed.
Some flatfishing (short repetative searching dives).

I'd be interested to hear whether people dive in one spot or if they go on 'safari' (like an aquatic walk taking in different spots in a circular manner).

Most dives here are 'safari' style - out along the reef - transition over sand to another reef and then back in to shore etc
