Details
Entered at the beach and made our way along the reef to the right all the way to the very large boulders, turned and came back onto the sand near the strap seagrass beds. Looked around the sand near the seagrass and found a striped pyjama squid, a southern dumpling squid and a small sea hare.
After looking the sand for a while we headed back towards the beach. In the shallows we found many striped pyjama squid. Sheree found a tiny striped angler and a red-lined bubble snail.
We exited at the beach.
