Bare Island, La Perouse, Sydney, Australia

Warm Sydney summer day - everyone was at La Perouse so parking was very hard to find. Long walk in full kit up the road, over the bridge, down the steps, under the bridge to the right. Easy entrance to water - snorkelled out and descended to around 5m. Gradually found 7m then over weed down to 15m. Plenty of sponge gardens, nudibranchs (4 varieties), scalyfin, blennies and a decent-sized cuttlefish. No sea dragons. Tricky return with waves on rocks. Hiked back to car, quick change and back to Scuba Warehouse by 5.05pm (it closes at 4pm on Sundays). [Now closed all day Sunday]

Dry suit, 21 lbs (definitely too light!), 82, u/w camera again.

Brendan - my wetsuit again, hired gear and the knife, which he lost.
