23 Apr 2000 | Idol Bay | Forster | Australia | 10 | 42 | 44 | Iain Hosking, Andrew Kennedy | A shallow second dive in a fishy paradise, made more challenging by strong wave action. Lots of juvenile warm water fish including spotted box fish (tiny one, like a pea) and lovely colourful blue fish with yellow tails. Groper, toadfish, pipefish, butterflyfish, leatherjacket, cowfish, fiddler ray, shovel-nosed ray, nannegai, cup coral, wrasse. Saw one wrasse slurp up a small school fish while it was distracted by a heavier swell than usual. | own, except hired tank (85 cu.ft. steel). No lifejacket - very comfortable without it. |
