15 Aug 1991 Yorky's Patches South-west of Hastings Reef Great Barrier Reef Australia 19 40 40 Iain Hosking, Cathy Humphries Four stars Dived off 'Sea Trek', a brand new boat (this is its 22nd day on the Reef). Weather - sunny, windy (force 3-4). Sea - blue with white horses. Fairly secluded spot 1.5 hours from Cairns. Visibility - pretty poor - 30-40 feet. But lovely coral - staghorn, brain etc. Very colourful. Not so many fish as at Holmes Reef, but all very active - nibbling algae and so on. Saw a new type of clownfish (single thin white stripe) and black and white puffer fish. Relaxed dive. New wet suit. 20lbs weight.
