Ocean Trek - Jervis Bay
Jervis Bay is approximately 120sq. km of exceptionally clear seawater, fringed by cliffs, rock platform and the whitest sands in the world. As a landscape, it is geologically unique, with its complex combinations of structural warping and faulting of Permian rock strata followed by post-glacial flooding by the ocean. The warping is in the form of a syncline, a saucer-shaped depression in the earth's crust of 230-280 million-year-old Permian sandstone.
Our trips to JB are always aboard Ocean Trek which is a catamaran style vessel that measures 18 meters in length. Powered by two 671 Detroit diesel engines giving a top speed of 10 knots.
The vessel features a spacious dining and saloon area with CD deck, video ,TV and tape deck. The galley caters for three meals per day plus after activities snacks, microwave and Gas and Barbecue cooking facilities as well as a large refrigerator is available for guests use. A marine reference library is available for customers use while on board. The dive tender is a 4 meter aluminium duck style vessel which is great to dive those hard to reach spots. Lecture room facilities are available with presentation electronic equipment and a DVD player capable of showing jpeg images, and is regularly used for Karaoke sing-a-longs. Ocean Trek also has it's own desalination plant producing 180 L /hr fresh water, essential for that after dive shower.
Ocean Trek is owned and operated By Mick Saliwon and Lyn Cleary a husband and wife team who have lived and worked in Jervis Bay for the past 15 years. They each have over a decade of experienced diving in and around the Jervis Bay area. This experience has both been recreational and professional and they have been involved in skippering and dive mastering on numerous dive charter vessels. Some of the common dive sites frequently dived in Jervis Bay have been named by Lyn and Mick. With this experience they are able to extend their customers the best diving that conditions will allow.
