Details: An extremely low tide today, so despite the constant southerlies i thought cottage would be settled. Turned out a nice choice and the vis was pretty good for the first half of the dive. I went out the east side of cottage and swam out the back for a bit of an explore. Some nice overhangs and ledges out there, but there seemed to be alot of sand build up. Saw a cuttle, a big smooth ray and some nice reef scenes.
Camera Details: Tokina 10-17mm , dual SS200 strobes.(behaving badly)
