7 Aug 1991 | The Twins | Holmes Reef | Australia | 13 | 38 | 38 | Iain Hosking, Garth O'Friel | Shallow plowter around a couple of bommies with Garth and Tracy. Heaps of fish, including yellow goatfish, butterflyfish, blue-spotted fantail stingray, black-backed butterflyfish, moorish idol, surgeonfish, damselfish, fire dartfish and attractive coral. Meanwhile Cathy was trying out her navigation skills with the compass for the PADI Advanced Diver qualification. | New wet suit. 20lbs weight. | ||||

7 Aug 1991 | The Twins | Holmes Reef | Australia | 15 | 33 | 33 | Iain Hosking, Simon Caleri | Night dive, buddied up with Simon (from London) - Garth and Tracy following. Very atmospheric - the boat lights illuminating the sandy seabed like studio lights. Extremely clear water meant that the UK600 was overkill for this dive. Highlights were the sleeping turtle (2 foot long) and the parrotfish within its mucous membrane. Also found other fish, asleep and awake, and hermit crabs, shrimps and a worm with a retractile tentacle. | New wet suit. 20lbs weight. |
