Details |
It had been raining heavily most of the week so there was a good chance that the water was going to be very dirty. I entered at the boat ramp as usual and the water didn't look too bad. It got a little worse on descending down the wall but was still better than it could have been. I spent most of the dive out on the sand off the southern corner looking for interesting things. I spotted an eastern spiny gurnard which let me take many photos. There were also a lot of cuttlefish around. |
