Dive Kilcunda on Sat on a dropping tide and stayed bit pass low; by the time the 'balmy 14 deg (BI's expession)' turned to f@#king freezing arctic water.
Viz 8 ~ 10, dropped to 5~6 later.
Got one cutty, few sweep and maggies, shot couple BTW to try Margie's recipe, but they all tore-off so at the end took one average crimson female instead (awesome tempura style fried in corn flakes crumbs - couldn't find the Panko crumbs as Margie suggested).
On the way back found ledge with 4 crays, one absolute monster, but way deep in the ledge. By the time too frozen to try them bite, left for another day.
Busted my camera.
Freeeeeezed completely at the end.
....but over all, good dive!

Sounds like you need a better wetty. Been diving all winter in a 4 mm and it has been great so my advice is start saving!
The temp is a baly 14 deg at the moment, quite warm really for this time of year. Try scratching for scallops in the middle of winter in 8.2 deg just so you can finish of a fkin TV episode. Needless to say the minimum catch was taken because after freezing our tits of no one was really that keen on shucking much.

We were there 1-2hours before high tide. All the fisherman on the pier hadn't had anything all day either.

Went to Cape Woolamai on Sat, luckily the bloke driving the boat managed to get us there without sinking or running aground as it happened before.
Got there at 11am and dive the in-coming tide, 18C water, viz hazy 5~6m and dropping as the tide pushed in 3~4 at the end (always the case on that spot), saw a seal to swish through, otherwise nothing out of ordinary, heaps of decent reefies.

Stopped at Red Point on the way back hoping to get some snook.
No snook same stuff as on the point, smaller fish, colder water.
