Scuba Diving with Manta's at the Manta Bommie, Nth Stradbroke Island, with GoPro Hero 3+
Arguably in the top 5 best dive sites in Queensland and Australia east coast, the Manta Bommie is a short boat ride from Point Lookout.
The video doesn't really highlight how lucky we were to actually launch the boat with an over 1mtr high shore break. But our skipper from the Manta Lodge & Scuba Centre did a pretty amazing job with our launching tractor driver having to make a swim through the swell out to the boat.
Incredibly despite the conditions the viability was fantastic, though we were compensated with very strong current.
Within the first 3min we saw Turtles, a Shovel Nosed and Leopard sharks and of course Manta Rays. An amazing site and highly recommended!

An annual event of Manta Lodge & Scuba Centre, Shark Festival celebrates all things Grey Nurse Shark as their annual migration sets them running past and spending some time at this magnificent island. From two days of booked out shark diving at Flat Rock to having some of the best renowned Grey Nurse researchers shedding insight into these spectacular creatures, the weekend was sensational!! The good thing about Stradbroke is that even when the sharks are hiding there is always something else amazing to look at from Nudibranch's, Green Sea Turtles, Loggerhead Turtles, Scorpionfish, Lionfish, Hawkfish and many others from the family Scorpionidae. Octopus, frogfish, huge wobbegong all set to whale song from migrating Humpback Whales serenading - it doesn't get much better?
By far my favourite dive destination!

Flat Rock : North Stradbroke Island
With Brisbane city on the verge of another catastrophic flood in late January 2012 and the rain still pummelling down some friends and i decided that our diving addiction couldn't wait any longer and tried our luck diving North stradebroke island.
With 6 foot swells and an almost boat flip trying to get past the massive beach breakers the day was off to a dreadful start and the mood was quite sour. My hopes were dashed about a dream dive day at flat rock but i conceded a dive's a dive and got on with it.
James our skipper with Manta Scuba lodge decided to ignore the rest of the dive shops splashing about at shag rock in the hope of some calmer conditions and boot it out too flat rock and hope.
When we arrived at flat the water was green and i mean really green and i was devastated to say the least but geared up and hoped in. After deciding 5 metres the most amazing thing happened, the water turned a crystal blue with 10 - 15 m vis and 26 deg water temp! I was in heaven and this was some of the best dives i have ever done ( except for a very green safety stop).
So just remeber never let your ideas about dive condituions get in the way of the chance of an amazing dive and as always local knowledge is always best with shag rock having a disappointing 4- 5 metres vis and virtually no life about.

4WD Treks Close to Brisbane: Surfing around Stradbroke
outdoortravelchannel.tv - Photojournalist and 4WD enthusiast Danielle Lancaster of Bluedog Photography recently wrote a book entitled 4WD Treks Close to Brisbane. Two of the book's 25 treks take place on North Stradbroke Island ('Straddie'), and this video covers the easier of the two: 46.7km Surfing around Stradbroke.
On this trek, we visit historic Dunwich, go beach driving on Flinders and Main beaches, and pass through Naree Budjong Djara National Park. Along the way, we stop to fish for whiting, snorkel with manta rays, and walk through the forest - plus we make a detour to play in some mud puddles.
