Dropped down to a small shallow plateau at about 10m, and moved in to the cave. Some lobster and fish were at the mouth. Reached the back of the cave, returned and came back out the mouth. Headed south and followed the cliff edge rising slowly, spotted some flat fish and crayfish.

25m - 38 min - Dived with Kish Sac
Dropped down to a sandy bottom at 25m and moved towards the cliffs (spotted an octopus) hit the reef edge and moved north west and ascended to 20m, and followed the reef at this depth. Multiple shoals along the fringe of the reef, met the other dive group along the way and got a photo. The reef started pulling more north and the landscape changed from rocky, to sparsely kelpy.

15m - 44 min - Dived with Kish Sac
Dropped down outside the north entrance of the pass through to the large rock to its left. Entered the cave and passed straight in at the crossing point. There are some remnants of the sea birds nesting above. At the rear of the fissure there are pink algae covered rocks with a sting current, and a showler depth we reversed and entered the passthrough on the south about 3 metres above the sea floor. The pass through is very bare and only about 20-30 metres long. You will need to pass under a rock to progress, and will enter a Small Stone bottomed pass. beyond this the sea opens up into a kelp forest (of the south portion) with shoals of fish ats its edge.
