It was a calm and sunny Australian day. The sea was flat and invitingly cool. The boat sped along the surface to the dive spot. Despite the calm, I inexplicitly became seasick and sat holding a bag, green-faced, on the deck. Kate looked at me with a mixture of concern and amazement that I could…

Thanks to your scuba ticket, you can explore the wonder of the underwater world. For Australia day, Bucket List Diver organised a dive on the Lena. 8 divers joined us for that adventure.   You just need an Open Water Scuba Ticket to explore this wreck Far from having the long and proud history of the other wreck on the West Coast, the Lena was a simple fishing vessel. It was illegally fishing in Antartica and after an exciting chase, the F.V. Lena got caught by the Australian Navy. They brought back the wreck in Fremantle and soon the decision was made to sink the wreck a few miles from Bunbury. The Lena was set for divers.
