Details

There was insufficient time left in the day for another boat dive so we went for a dive at the reef to the east of the boat ram at Murrays Beach.

We waded out from the beach and started heading east around the edge of the reef. We followed the reef edge along for a while and then turned and came back and into the bay between the reef and the boat ramp. The highlight of the dive was the giant cuttlefish near the end.
