Diver's Notes

Another dive at the pinnacles, this time the vis was down all around, without the clear separation between the good and bad water.

A few grey nurses around the aggregation buoy as well as jewfish again and the odd kingfish.

On the way back we spotted a black cod sitting down at the base of the mooring in the gutter that heads of in to the deeper water.

There was also a really big remora swimming around at about 5m on the way up. Wonder what that came off.
