Bare Island 13th September 2008

Dive No. 318 11.17 am, 15 degrees, 48 mins, 17.1 max, 12.8 av
DM Jean-Paul, though there were so many divers on this unusually hot day that we split into two groups. Entered via the south side and descended to 18 metres, heading east. There are some great sponge gardens there plus lots of little caves and there were PJs everywhere (there must have been almost 10 in one small cave). They were also draped over the sponges in the gardens out in the open. Also saw a Red Indian fish, some very friendly blue gropers and the usual assortment of morwongs, leatherjackets (bleck-reef, in a pair as usual), hulas, parmas, tarwhines, Sgt Bakers, etc.
