We were going to the Abrolhos but couldn't tee-up the liveaboard for the
time we wanted.

18 of us - 6 adults, 12 kids from the school dive club. Some of the kids
got their OW last year, some just a month ago and this was their first trip.

Accommodation was at the Apex Park - we had catering from the park managers
for extra cost as we didn't want to be diving twice then coming home to
cook. Simple, wholesome and tasty eg Lasagne, fish-and-chips, steak and
sausages BBQ.

Rooms were in accommodation blocks with about 8 cabins, two showers and
toilets etc. Demountables or "dongas". Backpacker's rooms as low as $12 or
$19.50 for own room. Amenities block with Table Tennis and TVs etc.

One street from the beach.

Diving was on the JB Dive shop's "Hot Tuna" dive boat. A bit squeezy with
18 but serviceable enough. Operator is Ian Styles - very knowledgeable
ex-military. Very pleasant and very helpful.

Dives both inside and outside the reef depending on swell. Very fishy area
and one of WA's most productive crayfishing localities, along with Lancelin.
Kept the depths to >18m due to the new divers.
