When we first entered the water I thoug that this was going to be a mediocre dive! the viz wasn't great, and there didn't seem to be all tha muc to see, but by the end of the dive it was a completely different picture. We had spotted a couple of (Lomg nosed?) Weedfish, two Maori Octopuses out hunting, a number of Seahorses, and a couple of Kastelnau's Wrasse swimming around in their typical bobbing motion. Another Smooth Ray put in an appearance, and Barber Perches, Featherduster Worms, and several differnt species of Leatherjackets were also seen. No luck in finding any more Blue Ringed Octopuses though.
