Dive #542

Notes

Pretty boring start to the dive, with not much to be found. Visibility was somewhere in the 5 - 8m range most of the dive. At the pile of old tractor tyres tied together there was an assortment of hingeback shrimp and some other smaller transparent shrimp. In the middle of the tyre pile were also two pipefish. On the main reef, saw a young Harlequin Sweetlips still with its juvenile colouring but swimming properly and around 12–15cm in length. Also found a Moray Eel in a crevice in the coral, two crabs, a lion fish, and of course the resident turtle named "Bumpy". Spent some time in the shallows before surfacing — the reef was very colourful with an assortment of anemones and their resident anemonefish. A number of fish cleaning stations and large schools of fusiliers darting around in the background.
