Attributes

Details

Much less swell here, so much more relaxed before and after dive. Dropped in and swam to shore. Big swimthroughs with shoals of nannegai, plus umpteen other varieties, including leatherjacket, wrasse, cale (charcoal grey fish with a hump back, about wrasse size), groper, morwong. Andrew believes he saw a grey nurse shark, but I didn't (as usual).

Equipment

82 cu. ft. Damper, still not cold. (Water temperature supposedly 16 degrees).
