Details

Entered at The Leap and headed down to the sand line. The visibility was not all that good and we ended up hitting the sand line further north than usual. We then headed north towards Seahorse Rock which took a lot less time than usual. We found "Rosie", "Bob" and "Kel" on the rock behind Seahorse Rock. "Kel" was a bit difficult to find as he was hiding in some sponges.

Sheree found a goblinfish on the low rock up from Seahorse Rock. That was the first time I had ever seen one.

Shortly along from Seahorse Rock, we found 2 juvenile weedy seadragons. They were only 6-8 centimetres long.

We found "Southern Cross" and "Richie" in their usual spot. "Southern Cross" was being buffeted by the surge.

Further along towards The Steps we found a reaper cuttlefish and an adult weedy seadragon. In the shallows near The Steps we found 2 moorish idols. We exited at The Steps.
