Details

Entered at the bay around the corner from flagpoles and headed straight to the area we normally see "Honey", "Trevor" and "Lisa". We could not find one of the seahorses after checking the area quite thoroughly.

We then headed north west along the sand line. We stopped briefly at split rock but found no seahorses there. Next we headed to where we'd seen "Jaques", "Jill" and "Jackson" but they were also missing after a good look around.

We kept heading around the corner towards the beach. As we moved into shallower water we encountered a pair of mourning cuttlefish and a huge bull ray.

We exited at the beach.
