Details

Dive with Ocean Trek.

This was a westbound drift dive.

After leaving the boat and getting our cameras, we descended to around 25 metres. We quickly spotted an eastern blue devil at around 29 metres and headed down to take photographs. We spent a bit of time there and went close to going over our non-decompression limit and so headed into shallower water for the rest of the dive. The area had a lot of large boulders and many swim-throughs which made it very interesting.
