Details

Solo night dive (Andreew and Martin wimped out) from the boat up the creek and back. Clear water, several octopus, all sizes from 4" to 2'. No less than 12 globefish (Diodon nicthemerus). Several estuary catfish (Cnidoglanis macrocephalus) with poisonous spines, leatherjacket inc toothbrush (Acanthaluteres vittiger). Anglers would be happy with the 11 luderick (blackfish) under the pier.

I didn't write this in the logbook, but I do remember wondering whether sharks liked this area at night.

Equipment

Wet suit, Arctic
