Descended shot line to big coral bommies. Lots of reef fish, hard and soft coral. Shoals of fusileers and big travalis. Dropped to 25m with reef left shoulder. Big groupers and really beatiful table corals. Saw a leafy scorpoin fish in the shallows. Great Dive!

Still on the Ribbon Reefs. Dropped off rib onto a coral wall for a drift dive! Lots of reef fish and beautiful coaral. Large Tuna, big Napoleon, big shoal of jacks, sweetlips. Picked up by rib. Really nice dive!

Finned down anchor line to Coral bommie. Nice hard brain coral and soft corals. Lots of reef fish: fusileers, unicorn fish, giant clams, lionfish, sweetlips, batfish, came up under spirit – lots of jellies (bluebottles) – stung on arm. Great dive!

Last daylight dive of the day! Descended down shotline to mushroom shaped bommie. Crossed sandy bottom to other smaller coral bommies. Saw 3 whitetips and a ray on the bottom. Nice bumphead parrot fishes and big Napoleon Wrasse. Large shoal of Trevalis and safety stop. Great Dive!

Night Dive. Jumped off the back of Spirit into a small shoal of travalis feeding in the lights of the boat. Descended anchor line and dived similar profile to previous dive. Saw Bumpheads producing protective mucus sacks inside the coral – very impressive form of protection! Lionfish, shrimps and other reef fish with pyjamas on! Amazing how their colours subdue at night to create a more camaflouged effect. Nice Dive!

Low Viz and a bit murky with clouds overhead. Dropped onto a coral bommie with really nice soft and hard corals. Hundreds of blue Fusileers, 2 white tips (one sleeping on the sandy bottom and one cruising the reef). Clown Trigger and very big Titan!

Twilight dive. Got dark 15 mins into dive. Lots of fusileers again, finned around the crevices. Saw a big ‘snotta’ – huge jellyfish!

First dive in Poor Knights!

Dive Site just on outside edge of huge cave. Big overhang with large boulders to a sandy bottom. Rock covered in kelp. 3 Very large scorpion fish, nudibanch and ray hiding in the kelp.

Wall leading to sandy bottom. Descended right shoulder down shaded side and thru vert tight swim thru to sunny side. Boulders, rocks and kelp. Not a large profusion of marine life but nice (very very cold) dive.

A very calm, but uneventful dive. Was awesome on the air but didn’t see to much except a cool nudebranch.
