- Details: Chris and Harry were keen to check out the Kelp Forest and pretty sure they were impressed by the sight. Conditions weren’t the best, and swell was lapping up onto the platform making entry difficult. The surge was a little unnerving, but vistas are worth it. Harry found a Johnston Weedfish sitting in the algae..a great find! The surge continueously pushed the weed over it, making it difficult to get a clear shot at it, but chris and harry did a great job of holding back the weed so i could get a couple of records shots. Thanks Guys! This is always an impressive dive.
