GIMMIE SICK VIS

SUMMARY

Chasing the best diving and fishing days around Melbourne with live data and a bit of local know-how. Built to help you find sick vis when it counts.

The dive sites you find here are given a rating out of ten based on forecasts and training data.

Alongside the forecast you get access to fresh data on a daily basis, featuring...

• Live swell recordings
• Chlorophyll scans
• Sea-surface temperature scans
• Real-color satellite scans

Please note this is a planning aid, not a substitute for checking official forecasts.

MY RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW

1. 1

   Take a look at the forecast rating. Keep note of days with a rating of 7+. Ratings less than that may still be ideal for scuba diving deep down.

   This is a general indicator of days worth heading out!

2. 2

   A day or two before the trip, double check forecast details. I also recommend checking out the chlorophyll and satellite scans over an area.

   This highlights any algae blooms etc, which can impact visibility.

3. 3

   Just before heading out, check the live waves buoy and see whether or not it’s holding up with the forecast.

4. 4

   Have fun!
