Details
Entered at the beach next to the baths and swam along the nets under the pier looking at seahorses. Followed the nets around the right until the next right turn. Found 3 pot-bellied seahorses in addition to many White's seahorses. Additionally, there were a few pairs of mourning cuttlefish. Found some interesting nudibranchs and a pipefish, too. Swam back the the eastern corner and then followed the pier to the south east into deeper water. Found three different anglerfish as well as more nudibranchs and some bubble shells. Returned under the pier to the beach.
