Outer Edge Magazine The Ultimate Adventure Magazine
Bounty Divers where lucky enough to host Mr Chris Ord recently from Outer Edge Magazine. Chris was here to seek all the out there activities that Norfolk had to offer and he was not dissappointed. The main focus for his trip to Norfolk was the Scuba Diving with Bounty Divers and the kayaking with Tropical Adventures which can also be organised at the Bounty Divers office.
The kayaking was extrordinary, with a circum navigation of the island over three days. The next issue will have the article featuring the kayaking and I am sure it will be awesome
However the article covering the diving was insanely good, even though the weather was not kind to us and we were not able to get into the fully hard core dive sites that we had provisionally planned. We did manage to introduce Chris to one of our smaller sharks, not the first time that Chris has dived with a shark, but the first time that he has seen one that was not enticed in by burly, just there of its own accord. It was only a small Gallapogas shark, which are quite common here on norfolk Island and the smaller islands that surround Norfolk.
Sharks on Norfolk are usually very well fed as we have no commercial fishing industry here allowing fish stocks to remain very high. Another reason why the diving around Norfolk Island is first rate.
Anyway, getting back to the article in Outer Edge Magazine. Chris has done an amazing job of combining all the usual information that people like to write about Norfolk Island, history, Bounty etc but he has managed to do it in an interesting way that does not get boring. I am a little concerned about the image that he has created for me as beast of a diver and my passion for Norfolk Islands marine environment including sharks. It will be a bit of a let down for people travelling to Norfolk Island to dive with Bounty Divers when they arrive and see what I am really like.
Anyway the article is awesome. The magazine is awesome. And you should really buy a copy and have a look.
We hope that we can get Chris or any one of the other guys out here again at some stage, maybe next time we will catch a break with the weather and really get into some awesome diving. Then I would bet these guys would write an article that would completely blow us away.
