Dive Report: Again i searched for Pyjama squid with no success. I decided to check out the Seahorse area, and amazed to find at least six all clinging to the same piece of weed. I managed to get 4 in the shot.
These Sponge crabs were a constant source of amusement..possibly the least aggressive crab species i’ve come across…they just try to waddle way. This one nearly walked over a dumpling squid hinding in the sand.
A bit of pylon growth:
This cobbler was in the shallows before i got out;
