Details |
Club dive with St George Underwater Centre on board Aquatic Explorers boat.
Swam down the anchor line and then south to the wall, passing two interacting giant cuttlefish on the way. Headed west alomng the wall to the main shark cave. There were 6-7 grey nurse sharks patrolling the edge of the cave and we sat and watched them for 20-25 minutes. We headed back to the anchor line, passing the giant cuttlefish again and headed back up the line. |
