Details

The first dive of a double boat dive to Magic Point on board Joe and Linda's boat "BENT".

We descended the anchor line which was just off the ledge outside the cave swam to the wall and around over the ledge to the cave. There were 10-20 sharks swimming in and around the cave. At one end of the cave there was an eastern blue devil and a giant cuttlefish at the other end. We spent 50 or so minutes with the sharks and then headed out into deeper water to look for cuttlefish and weedy seadragons. Sheree found a juvenile giant cuttlefish. We then came back to the cave and up the anchor line to the boat.
