Details
Entered at The Steps, went down to the edge between the boulders and the kelp and headed towards The Monument. Sheree found a large giant cuttlefish that we spent some time with. We then moved towards the sand line and followed it all the way to The Monument, stopping at "Honey" and "Trevor" on the way. At The Monument we found "Fernando" but there's still no sign of "Lisa" or "Kimi". We returned to The Steps to exit.
