Bare Island North East 18th October 2008

Dive No. 323.
10.57 am, 17 degrees, 55 mins, 10.1 max, 6.4 av
Dive was marred by me losing my wide-angle lens at the entry point! Liz and I searched for quite a while but to no avail. Then we headed north, north-east to the beach. Lots of interesting overhangs and landscapes (this is where I saw a blue devil fish years ago) but not a great deal of fish. We did see a wobbegong, which Liz and I both agreed we didn’t think we’d ever seen at Bare before. Also saw red morwongs, old wifes, silver drummer, various wrasse and a cuttlefish.

DM JP, Liz, Patrick, Michael, Rostum, Julian and assorted others. Standard Shelly dive with reasonable vis. Saw two PJs, 3 wobbies, black-reef leatherjacket, cuttlefish and the usual morwongs, Sgt Bakers, wrasse, hulas, old wifes, etc. Some surfers said they’d seen a turtle at the point but we didn’t see it.
