Today's dive was very much like yesterday's dive. We got in on the northern side of the island and descended to the sand line where the visibility was 3 to 5 metres.
We swam to and down the slope looking for pygmies and nudibranchs along the way. On the way down the slope we had a look for the tiny juvenile pygmy pipehorse we'd seen on one of the rocks with the pink sea tulips on the last couple of dives but couldn't find it.
We continued down the slope and I spent a lot more time looking for the other pygmy pipehorse I'd seen last Wednesday. I then only got as far as Pygmy Rock before it was time to turn around.
On the way back, Kim pointed out a red indianfish not far from where I had been looking for the second pygmy pipehorse.
I had another look for the tiny juvenile pygmy pipehorse on the rocks with the pink sea tulips and eventually found it but only after Kim had already left for the exit.
I continued up the slope and around to the northern side of the island where I caught up with Kim just as she was exiting. |
