Details

Entered at The Leap and headed straight out to the sand line. Saw a large Port Jackson shark amongst the rocks on the way. Followed the sand line towards The Steps. Before reaching Seahorse Rock we discovered an angler on one of the rocks. At Seahorse Rock we (eventually) found all three seahorses (Golden Girl, Bob and Franscesco). There was also a tiny moray eel at Seahorse Rock. After Seahorse Rock we went in search of the other female seahorse, Southern Cross. I found her on her usual rock, near another small moray. Sheree saw a large wobbegong, too. We then headed to shallower water and The Steps. On the way we saw a small octopus. We exited at The Steps.
