Details

Fly Point looked just as inviting as Seahorse Gardens. We entered at the bottom of the stairs and headed straight out, descending as we went. We then just pottered around first in the shallows and then into deeper water looking for interesting organisms. The visibility was not great at around 5 metres and the site looked like it had been hit by a recent storm.

There were many wobbegongs around and a huge number of different fish. There didn't seem to be as many nudibranchs as I have seen on previous dives there. After about 55 minutes we ascended to 5 metres for a safety stop and surfaced not far from the exit.
