8 Aug 1991 | Nonnkina Bommie | Holmes Reef | Australia | 18 | 50 | 50 | Iain Hosking, Cathy Humphries | Back to the site of the first dive of the trip. 6pm and the light is going, but there's still a lot of activity. This time we were much more attuned to the Reef and knew what we were looking for. The lemon damsels look lovely against the blue of the sea floor. We saw a lionfish, several clams, clown triggerfish and a barracuda, and swam through an arch decorated with large yellow gorgonians. After circling the bommie two or three times we ended up on top, where fish darted around among pastel patches of living coral. Surfaced just as the sun was setting. | New wet suit. 20lbs weight. |
