Swell still appreciable so back to Point Perpendicular, which is sheltered from the north-east. Dropped into 13m and swam to the south of a prominent rock. Found a reasonable-sized cuttlefish, then a couple of small ones. Cathy found a little yellow nudibranch, then what looked like a minute (less than 1cm) wobbegong or other fish. Decided I was definitely overweighted with 28lbs of lead. | ||||

Sun back behind the clouds so glum underwater. Concentrated on smaller life eg a tiny, blue nudibranch (probably the one at the bottom of p52 of the nudibranch book). At this point we saw a stingray about three feet across which glided off into the murk. Then back to the littlies. | ||||

Dived with Sarah and Steve again as the Cathys took it easy. Again more spectacular than the first dive of the day (sorry lads) with extremely large boulders especially towards the end of the dive. Swam back at a shallow depth (5m) with sun slanting through clear water and navigated our way straight to the boat. |
