Details: Shit weather again, so i thought i’d try a new spot near st leonards…just north of the pier. I saw a very tiny cryptic fish that i got very excited about. I think its just a baby stinkfish though…not all the exciting. Some hydriods out there, and a seemingly abundant over winter, featherstar floated by.

Details: A second dive on St Leonards Reef. Hyeonji Spotted a large Maori Octopus doing its best to camoflage into the reef. One of the biggest suprises was a cowfish…the first i’ve ever seen around these parts. Another good cirtter was a massive ringed pipefish….almost the size of a snake-eel. Great dive despite the current and ordinary vis.

Details: Headed out for a night dive from the boat with Chris off St Leonards. Initially it seemed like a fairly quiet dive that wasn’t going to turn up much….until i came across a Sculpted Sea Moth. This critters been on my wish list for a while, so i was really happy to finally find one. A very unique critter.

Details: This turned into a great dive. This was the reef out off St Leonards Pier. The area is dominated by rocks covered with sponge and brown algae. We dropped straight onto a cuttlefish and then explored the sponge area. After 10 minutes i came across two Port Jackson sharks spleighed across each other…as they do. A real suprise. Chris also saw some squid out here…a really productive area.
