Amelia's first dive for the season. Saw lots of small schooling fish. Can't work out what they are. Quite a few small Stingarees around the outside of the pier, as well as a single Spider Crab. We spent some time watching a Pale Octopus that lives in a tyre off the end of the pier, on the way to Elsa's reef. The Calamary have laid more eggs, and there were lots of juvenile Moonlighters hunting for food under and around the pier.
