Notes
Dived first to the South and drifted North with the current. The current was consistent but not overly strong allowing you to kick against it to go against the flow if need be with minimal effort. On the surface there was a fair bit of swell and wind chop coming from the South. But under the suface conditions were calm with great viisibility, I could easily see the surface. Dive started fairly uneventful. not a great deal of marine life to be found at depth on the wall. At around the 15m mark we could see schools of large Trevally swimming around near the top of the wall. About 5 minutes later we also spotted a large school of Batfish sitting off the wall. At the 40 minute mark a large school of trevally was sitting out from the wall in open water at around 5m depth. I ascended to observe before they eventually headed over the top of the wall toward shore. So descended to around 10m to continue the dive. Lot of colourful corals and marine life in the shallows at this site and was alot more interesting than the depths. Ascended to find an army of boats in the area, some dive boats but the magority were carrying day trippers "Island Hopping" with snorkelling and the like.
