Details: A run of bad luck with the car continued when the ignition barrell collapsed in the car at Rapid Bay. This had us stranded for 6 hours, trying to get tools to fix the bloody thing. The worst part was that i only had about 60bar in my tank, so i only got to dive rapid bay jetty once. Once the car was going, we popped around to Second Valley, and i just noodled around the jetty and first bay in hope that i might stumble onto a Leafy Seadragon. No luck, but some nice vegetation.  I was suprised to see zooanthids in less than a metre of water here.

Camera Details: Tokina 10-17mm , dual SS200 strobes
