Details

Entered in the bay around the corner from the flagpoles and descended to the sponge reef. We tried to find "Oliver", the undescribed angler from last week, but couldn't find it.

We headed towards The Steps to the area where "Honey" used to be, hoping "Honey" would be there but we couldn't find her. We did find "Sebastien", the tiny painted angler.

We headed back towards The Monument, looking again for "Oliver" to no avail. At split rock we found "Beverley", the undescribed angler. It hadn't moved since last week.

We continued towards the corner of The Monument and I found a tiny red painted angler (now called "Lesley") and John found a grey undescribed angler.

We swam slowly around the corner and then along the wall looking for "Angus", the tiny painted angler from last week, but couldn't find it. We then went along the top of the wall looking for "Little Jennie," the undescribed angler we saw last week, but couldn't find it either.

We exited on the rocks in front of the flagpoles.
