Another hot day in Rye, so going under the pier was a great idea. Kirsty and I saw lots of young Leatherjackets, a couple of large Horseshoe Leatherjackets, big schools of Red Mullet, lots of Pilchards, and a few Blennies. There was also a big Smooth Stingray cruising around the outside of the pier.

Later in the day William and I did another dive under the pier, this time bringing the GoPro. The Smooth Stingray came to have a good look at us, making a couple of close passes. As with the morning dive, there was lots to see, including a large Sweet Ceratosoma nudibranch.
