Shallow plowter around a couple of bommies with Garth and Tracy. Heaps of fish, including yellow goatfish, butterflyfish, blue-spotted fantail stingray, black-backed butterflyfish, moorish idol, surgeonfish, damselfish, fire dartfish and attractive coral. Meanwhile Cathy was trying out her navigation skills with the compass for the PADI Advanced Diver qualification. | New wet suit. 20lbs weight. | |||

Dived with Garth as part of a foursome with Simon and Tracy. Garth had buoyancy problems so our descent was slow. Down below us we could see Simon and Tracy, and beyond them the dropoff, so visibility was at least 50m, probably 60m. We joined them eventually, and looked over the edge of the dropoff (and at the Advanced course playing Pictionary) before finning up the slope. Saw nudibranchs, lionfish, clams, parrotfish, butterflyfish. | New wet suit. 20lbs weight. |
