Had trouble equalising on first dive of day, resulted in blood vessels exploding in and around both eyes. Learning, don't have a big night the night before.
Great site with plenty of fish to see. On way out saw a couple of dolphins on north side of Broughton Island. A humpback whale was also coasting through as we approached North Rock.
The Gutters at North Rock are amazing. Around 35 Grey Nurse sharks swimming around in a trance like state as we came within inches of them. Amazing Kingfish school swam past within metres at one point, their formation perfect.
