Details

Another dive at The Steps. This time the goal was to find the angler that George had found the previous day - if he could remember where he saw it.

We entered at The Steps and went down to the sand line. The visibility was only slightly better than it had been on Friday. We headed towards The Leap while George tried to find the angler. We ended up at the Miamira magnifica nudibranch without finding the anglers.

We continued on to The Leap as far as the basket star and then headed back to the nudibranch. After the nudibranch we went very slowly to The Steps looking for the angler. Close to The Steps we looked carefully on every rock but did not find the angler at all.

After a safety stop we exited at The Steps.
