Details

First dive of a double kayak dive to Henry Head. We paddled out to Henry Head from the Bare Island end of Frenchmens Beach and anchored in around 5 metres of water.

We descended the anchor line and headed south to the reef. At the upturned boat we headed down to the rock where "Halle" lives but we could not find her. Only "Bernard" was visible.

We then swam to seahorse rock, seeing a few red indianfish along the way. At seahorse rock we eventually found all four seahorses, "Nadja", "Pedro", "Daniela" and "Lotte".

We then went to split rock and found "Nellie" on the next rock and "Desmond" in the gap as usual.

We headed further along looking for more seahorses but didn't find any. We came back via split rock, seahorse rock and "Halle"'s rock and then back to the kayaks.
