The incoming tide is ideal for a drift dive at The Pines along a ledge of "coffee rock" at 14 metres off the sandy beach south of Bulwer on Moreton Island. Neil was organising a commando style entry from the rear gate on Big Cat Reality, so we decided to tag along with his group of Advanced and Nitrox students.   We jumped in within seconds of each other and descended straight to the bottom at 14 metres.  There are long sections of “coffee rock” walls and boulders, which we drifted past in good visibility with big schools of fish. We saw many wobbegongs asleep under ledges and two turtles.  The students with reels practiced sending their safety sausages to the surface to indicate their position and enable them to stay at the 5-metre level.  After completing a drifting safety stop, Big Cat Reality was right there to pick us up.
