Details

Dropped in at The Slot, which was beautifully clear, with a bottom of white shell sand and a couple of resident Eastern Blue Devil. At the end we had to brace ourselves against the surge. The view up to the surface was lovely. Once out from The Cut we swam round the cliff back to The Docks, into and out of a couple of caves. Fish: more Eastern Blue Devil, morwong, herring cale, leatherjacket, groper, a moray eel and three Port Jacksons. Also masses of sea tulips and sponges.

Equipment

82. Dry suit undersuit now quite soggy.
