Dive Journal: Little Seal Rock, 27 June 2009

LITTLE SEAL ROCK – 27th June 2009

We met at the marina to stow our gear on the Action Divers boat before car pooling for the trip to Seal Rocks. Suzanne kindly drove John , Isabelle, Rob and I down to meet up with John who had already arrived. We snorkelled out and boarded for the trip to our first dive site. On the way we saw whales breaching and swimming about as well as a pod of dolphins.

Suzanne had both a camera and a slate whilst I recorded the fish life on a slate. I was delighted to see a Moorish Idol as soon as we reached the anchor. There were also yellow tail scad, hula fish, leather jackets, banner fish, red and crested morwongs and both female and male grouper. We almost circumnavigated the rock before settling in an area with a vast array of fish. It was here I almost bumped into a grey nurse shark slowly cruising by however Suzanne had spotted one earlier.

Back on board we devoured a delicious lunch prepared by Anita.
