Visibility Description:
Notes and Highlights: Lots of animals and very active - first night dive this year...dove with Jeff. Many stingray, a couple of eels, octopi, nudibranchs (see below), and, unfortunately for the camera, a lot of plankton (small animals) in the water as well - very attracted to our dive lights. Warm - no hood...much warmer than the 50 degrees of Tasmania last week. Took a look at Shelly - she's nearly indistinguishable as Shelly with the growth. Long, slow dive around the reef...a good time had by all.
